X7 placing unwanted folders in my "jobs" folder

[Mark H]

X7 creates these folders IMG, MSC, NPL, NST, SST, XML, and places them in my “jobs” folder. They are empty and I don't want them there cluttering things up. If needed I would gladly have them somewhere else (like “user data folder” or “shared data folder”), but can't figure out where the setting is. In settings – configuration – files, I specify that all the geometry files (MCX, DWG, etc…) point to my “jobs” folder, but I don't see anything about the folders I have listed above. So does anyone know where the setting is for these folders to be created elsewhere?

These are all controlled by settings on the Files page in System Cofig.

I don't know how they got set that way, but Mastercam will create the folders

every time you launch Mastercam, if you have deleted them

Did you run migration when you installed X7??

 

The easiest solution is to delete your config file, let Mastercam create another one

the edit it as needed

No on the migration.

I set the the MCX files (and all other geometry files) to go to C:\jobs\, but thats it. I left "shared user data" and everything else the same.

When i get a chance I will try deleting the config and try again.

Those directories are used by Active reports...

Figured it out.

I looked in the config file and found it was the "report" folder setting, so I changed it back to the following;

31020. Reports Folder? <APP_DIR_SHARED>Common\Reports\
