Saving files in X7

[mctaylor]

I am currently having trouble saving files as an MX7 file. When I open a new file and create a model and cam file and try to "save as" mastercam is saving as and unrecognizable file. Such as "555 File", or "5-12 File. is there something in my settings messed up.

 

Thanks

I was able to just manually add the ".mcx-7" and that corrected the issue but I never had to do that before!

My guess would be not to use a period in the file name. If this is the problem, you should be able to rename the file to "whatever.mcx-7" & it would open.

you shouldn't need to hit "SaveAs"

a new file should ask for a filenames the first time you hit "Save"

check the default mcx filenames setting

on the Start/Exit page of System Config and make sure

it's not set to something off the wall

True, gcode, but hitting SaveAs shouldn't cause these issues either.

I wonder in the file type drop down is set to "All"

I looked in Settings/Configurations/Start/Exit and every thing is set to where it needs to be.  When I select "save as" on a new file that I have created from a new file the drop down is set to save as an mcx-7 file.

If I open a new file from a solidworks file and "save as" I have no issues which is what is confusing.

Also just tried to duplicate problem and now seems to be fine, must have been the gremlins!!

 

Thanks everyone!!
