[chad fisher]

We are getting ready to update to v9 and would like to keep our posts, is there anything special i have to do? Thanks in advance!

Just copy your PST (posts) and their .TXT files into the new MCAM9|MILLPOSTS folder.

Start v9, and from Main menu select ->

NC Utils, Post Proc, Update PST

On the screen that appears make your setting telling it what type of post it is updating Mill/Lathe/Wire and which version the post is from. Then enter the PST filename and click the Update button. The .PST & .TXT files are now updated for use with Mastercam v9.

When you install it will ask if you want to update your post from V8 say yeas and will make a updated copy in the V9 dir.

 

Also under NCutilites you have an option to update older posts to V9.

 

Guess I am to slow.
