saving files

[red sox fan]

Is anyone having an issue with saving files in x7 at all.

I have been having an issue with auto save as well as just plain saving files.

when I reopen them they are sometimes not the files that I am expecting to see?

 

 

Thanks,

I LIKE TO USE SAVE AS , AND NOTE THAT IT GOES TO THE RIGHT LOCATION , THE AUTO SAVE HAS BACK UP FILES THAT ARE STORED IN THE LOCATION SPECIFIED IN YOUR "AUTO SAVE BACK UP CONFIG IN BACK UP FILES ,

We had some issues with this and have minimized the problem with two items. One is be certain you are waiting long enough for the file to save completely as X7 has inordinate save times relative to file size. Two is do not use the "file has changed" warning to save your files. Save the file as you want it, being certain it is what you want, and do not use the "yes" when asked if you want to save the file before exiting because MCX says it has changed.

 

Additionally if you do as suggested above, using the icon in toolbar not through the "file" pull down, the icon shows "depressed" until MCX is done saving the file.

"Save As" has been my friend for a long time.  I have noticed "like betts wrote" that you can tell when Mastercam is done saving by the icon changing.  "Save As" lets you double check where you're saving it and to make sure your file name is correct

I have found that I am not prompted to overwrite when I save files to the MCX directory. Specifically files with the name "TEST".
