Machine Simulation Start Error

[Jtech]

When I start the Machine Simulation in X5, I get an ini file not found error, and simulation aborts. Has anyone else seen this error? If so what did you do to fix it?

What .ini file is machine sim looking for?

[Jtech]

I believe it was looking for the mwMachSim.ini that is in the my mcamx5 directory. I worked with the computer some more yesterday, and after doing some diagnostics I believe it was caused by a corrupt custom config file. I first checked all permissions for the user, and that was fine. I then set Mastercam to use the default config file. This seemed to correct the problem. I then checked the mwMachSim.ini file, and it then had a current modified date. Machine Simulation is now working the way it's supposed to. I don't know exactly what happened to config file that caused the problem other that it was corrupt.

Well thanks for posting the solution you found for the problem.

Having the same issue in X6. Tried a new config file from a coworkers computer, which machine sim is working on. No luck
