Mastercam X5 officially Released

[Jim Evans from CNC Software]

X5 has been officially released and is available for download here Mastercam X5 Download Page

 

You should also consider downloading the installation documentation and reading it prior to installing X5.

 

Also make sure to review the Update Folder feature in the file menu as this is the function you should use to migrate your files from a previous version and update them. Update Folder has been improved to automatically call updatepost to update your post when Machines or posts are selected for updating.

 

Enjoy!

[Guest]

READ the documentation first, especially the installation guide.

 

It is going to be greatly important.

 

I'll offer this right now, there is no migration.

 

If you ask me I am going to suggest you start with a fresh new config file.

 

Let the old one go. It'll only take a few minutes of your time and make save you in the long run.

It is working on my Nethasp server, but not on the remote pc's?

[Goldorak]

Okay... I'm up and running... can I ask a question now?

Nope, in the way we should handle illegal immigrants you should have to go to the back of the line.

I cant find anything in the notes that may be wrong with my nethasp setup. anyone else having nethasp problems?

[Thee Rickster ™]

Dload at an amazing 60k per second!!!

 

Just paid our maintenance today also.

 

Like JP said, new config file, open X4 and X5 so you can copy your settings the same if you wish.

Nope, running on a nethasp here in our office, no problems at all.

 

Can you try something silly and take the nethasp to one of the stations that won;t launch, plug it in, and see if it will then launch?

 

if it does, place it back on the server and try again.

[Thee Rickster ™]

Same release day as Black OP's...lol

 

Updates for Veriserf add on, X+, Mold plus and needed and view fit should work fine unless they finally updated

in MCX5.

Works fine when hasp is connected to remote pc, but will not read through the network

Was an exception added to the firewall for X4? It may need to be added for X5 as it is a different executable?

 

Does the nhaspx.exe see the server and mcam just won't launch? If so you may need to add the IP address of the server to the nethasp.ini file in X5

I added the ip to the .ini file, no there were no firewall settings for X4. The nhaspx ver 5.2 (X5 ver) Says no Nethasp found on network

I am wondering if becasue it is now installed in the "Program Files" directory and comes under windows control more so, if perhaps you do have to open port #475 AND create a firewall exception.

Would sharing the folder help?

[Guest]

Would sharing the folder help?

 

no, not likely to help in anyway at all.

[Thee Rickster ™]

Is this going to create a problem?

 

I have installed each version of MC in a unique folder of its own name and the original mcamc folder is empty.

 

The translation manual shows this.

my c:drive structure is this

.

Probably nothing to worry about, but just incase......I thought I'd better ask.

Rick, you can no longer install Mastercam to the root C folder, it WILL be installed in the Program Files folder and the shared files will drop into the appropriate folders.

 

My advice is DO NOT mess with the installation locations.

[Thee Rickster ™]

Thanks, .....so install and next, next, next....till finished.

That IS the best bet if you ask me.

 

 

People are going to cause themselves ALL sorts of problems if they don't

This should not conflict with the older installs at all, willit?

It should not conflict at all as it is a completely new install and installation location.
