Library not found

[Die Sinker]

To All- I have been a user for over 10 years! I should know how to do this,but......

 

This morning when I started MC, during startup, I got a warning that said "WARNING! Library not found"(CMCAM8my project namedefaults.df8). I did not change anything the night before. Any suggestions? MC v 8.1.1 and all patches!

I assume you tried restarting the computer so I would suggest a 'Repair' from the 8.1.1 disk.

Thank you. Did that, but no change.

I got a similar error when renaming/playing with my post files..."Post processor not found." Although you say you didn't change anything, I would go to Screen/Configure/Files and reset the default on "Associative toolpath prm file." Maybe it's just one of those things

Got an answer from Rob D. at Cad-Cam Consulting today about this problem. Just delete the mill.cfg file from MC and restart MC. The application reverts to old defaults and runs fine- NO warning messages!

Thanks for posting the answer. Any explanation for what caused it??

No real explanation. It just gets corrupted and this is the FIX. I did find that I can replicate the problem by using the C-Hook SETDIRS. That's a bummer,because I use this a lot to set project directories. Anybody have this occur with this C-Hook?

Gary,

 

I use Setdirs ALL THE TIME. I'm careful only to have the files that I will save/access in that folder. Here's an example;

 

 

I'm careful not to include the ops files, tool libraries, etc...

 

O/T - Gary, I had a couple of your frineds in the last Advanced Mastercam Class I was involved in. They did well.

Thanks James- That suggestion worked great. No more errors, no more corruption. Those two friends you spoke of are bright people and can catch on quick.
