Student lab environment

[msdavid99]

We are setting up MAstercam to be used in a lab enviroment where we have multiple users using the same computers. Is there a "best practice" for setting MasterCam up in this environment. We would like to have default user profile or config file that all users access upon 1st opening MasterCam. Right now the settings for the user under which the program was installed seems to be the default.

We use a software at our collage that freezes them so if they change it and you reboot goes back to the defaults.

Did you want to change the defaults. Just trying to figure what you actually want to do.

We use the same type of software at the college that I teach at, its called Deep Freeze. We have many seats of M/C installed, the nice thing about M/C these days is that the config files end up in "My Documents" that is on an "unfrozen" network drive. I believe the IT dept. has a script that looks for the config files in the student's document folder on the network and if there is non (only on the first time that the student starts M/C) it will write the config files to that location and any changes that student makes to M/C via the config files are saved only to that students config files. It works real nice because the student can log in at any computer with M/C installed and his (her) settings are used. That is a thumb nail of what happens not sure of all the details in full.

Sorry for the old posting. Man that would have been when was using Solidworks and Mastercam about everyday would have import my settings every time I left.
