pre versions

[bamavick]

Ok.. This should be simple, but how do you open pre versions of mastercam that are not listed in the file type directory.. example ( MC7 )

[gcode]

what version are you using

[bamavick]

X5 and sometimes X4. Would like to know what to do own both if they are different.

[Chris In-House Solutions]

To open a MC7 file you will need to open it and save it in MC9 then you will be able to open it in X4 or X5

mc7 = 1997/1998 - WOW! Seems like Yesterday a long time ago.

well....thats not good. i know the in's and out's of MCam9, if i gotta learn X(essentially a new software)on "old" OS, i'll go ahead and give gibbs a try. i have to use what they have already bought. gibbs works on W7os. hard to imagine mcam dropped the ball. thanks for the help anyway.

The future is coming, like it or not.

SolidWorks 2013 will not install on Windows XP

Mastercam didn't drop the ball. V9 is old.
