Ashan,

 

Error messages such as those often occur from an incorrect installation of the software. Did you by any chance install V9.1 in a root directory named Mcam9.1? If so, the period ".", would be the cause of your problems. Completely uninstall the bad installation and re-install in a root directory without any punctuation (such as Mcam91). Mastercam's model files, which contain geometry as well as toolpaths, are the same from one product to another (.MC?). You should be able to easily "Get" an .MC9 file from Mill while in Lathe or vice versa. You can also read V8 or V7 files into V9 but can't read a V9 file in either V8 or V7. HTH
