z2g won't open on seperate computer

[Sbarner]

All,

 

I wonder if anyone has seen this before, or knows what is going on. i help the local high school out with programming for their CNC lathe and mill. He's running X4 MU3, and I have a seat of the same here on my computer. When the teacher has problems with a program, he sends me the Z2G, I edit/fix it, Z2G and send it back. Apparently, he's getting a message on the other end saying that he can't open the MCX file because it's coming from a newer version of Mastercam...which is not true. I use X5 here for my day to day stuff and am wondering if perhaps one of the registry keys got muddled or something. I'd love to hear any suggestions or ideas. Thanks.

tell him to rename the file extension from .z2g to .zip and unzip it using winzip or some similar utility.

its best if he unzips it insdie a junk folder and deselects the "original path" options other wise

its going to make a real mess puting files and folders all over the place.

Steve,

Is he running an educational version of Mcam?
