Opening in design mode

[So not a Guru]

I want to convert a mill post to a router post. I have the pdf that explains the process, but I can't get past the 1st step! It says to open MC in "Design" mode, without any machine definition. How do I do that? My MC opens with a machine definition already loaded, I know how to switch machines using Properties/Files, but I don't know how to have no machine loaded.

Go to your configuration tab, then select the start-up tab, then select start-up product. It will currently be set to mill. Using the drop-down tab, select design. Restart Mastercam and you should be good to go.

The only way to "convert" a post processor from mill to a router is to change a number in the post heading. could be wrong though

You can also just choose Machine Type > Design from the main menu...

Thank you, I just released a mill license for others to use.
