I am using 2018 Mastercam. Using Cimcoeditor8

[Jeff2005]

I am using cimcoeditor8 for viewing the NC files after posting my program.  When i moved to 2018 and i tried posting it gave me an error.  I ask about this problem and was given a fix.  i can't remember that fix.  i need to know, if anyone knows, what that fix is, i have another computer i need to apply it to.

 

thanks for any input.

The fix depends on the error you're getting.

Is it not looking at the correct folder?

[Jeff2005]

I did try that.  I am thinking the ConfigPaths.cfg and the ConfigPaths-sample.cfg needs to be deleted.  i already deleted the sample config file but not the other one.  I am just making sure this is correct in my thinking.

thanks,

Ok I've got a solution. We've seen this issue before its something about permissions. let me know if you have any issues.  

 

Login as Administrator or with administrator permissions and follow these steps.

1. Download and unzip the attached file ConfigPaths.zip.
2. Use this file to replace the ConfigPaths.cfg file located in C:\Program Files\Mcam2018\common\Editors\CIMCOEdit8.

this fixed my problem.

ConfigPaths.zip

Jeff, who told you to replace the config file. was it one of the CIMCO team memebers? what was the error you were getting?

 

Thanks

So I was getting this same error this morning when trying to open Cimco8.  "Error in ConfigPaths.cfg, the directory 'CFG' cannot be created!"

At first rebooting was fixing it, but it would come back with the same error. Replacing the ConfigPaths.cfg  file with the one from the .zip from Jeff2005 seems to have fixed it.

If I remember right, One old fix/workaround for Cimco not running was to copy the Nethasp.ini into the Cimco operating folder.
