Feature Request

[betts]

I would LOVE it if when we select a different "shared folder" in the Mastercam configuration that Mastercam gave us the option of NOT copying files to it. I am really tired of having to clean out all of the unneeded files due to this. Ie...posts, setup sheets, etc.

 

While I could comment on the whole list(s), or the ones that I also experience anyway, this one is total PITA. I have to manage a bunch of workstations and some of the guys aren't super experienced outside of starting up and running the software. The changes over the years to machine defs and all create some wonderful opportunities to do things, but we won't use net-HASP and we must have everyone using the same files when they select machine def and post and such.

 

This creates confusion for some as MCX throws warnings and creates files when versions change and tries to force all the stuff in one location. It is all fixable and if the operator is paying attention nothing gets lost (though this can happen easily) but it pretty much suks. Especially for the person who has to clean it up and set it up. If you haven't seen this, there is no way to back out. You are forced to allow the files to be created.

Yeah, I'll second that. Tired of deleting files after every update or reinstall.
