X8 Default Machines

[JGolden]

I recently downloaded X8 and was going through and setting up my machines.  I can see all the control definition files and the machine definition files in the cnc_machines folder, all the posts are in the posts folder, and I can also see all my machines in the Machine Definition Menu Management list. But when I go to the system config and go to the default machines tab none of the machines are showing up on the drop down.

Hi,

Are you migrated config files from preview Mcam version?

Check flie path were Mastercam looking machines.

Sincerely,

Michael.

Yes I migrated from X6, and I've double and triple checked that the files are in the right location.

Open your system config, go to the files page, select "shared data folder" in data paths

What is the file map in selected items?

[JGolden]

Shared data folder file map C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx8\CNC_MACHINES

I don't know what else to try, the machines show up in machine type drop down menu and my machine definition menu management list.

They just won't show up in system configuration default machines tab

I had this problem as well and i migrated my config file from X7. Dump (delete) your config file and start over with a newly generated one to modify (when you delete your current one, mastercam will generate a new one).  Your machines will show up now, and change what you need. hth
