Merging complete files.

Hi Guys.

Is there a way yet to merge complete MasterCam files into another?

I mean tools, toolpath, geometry... all of it.

Thanks

Merge, no....

You can merge geometry and then import toolpaths

You can import all the toolpaths into a file with geometry as long as they are not associated to a solid(s). They are not imported in, but you can get everything else by merging the Mastercam file. Your issue will be if you use the import operation with geometry you will get a bunch of duplicates. Can then use the delete duplicates to get rid of them. Not an easy method, but I have done this many times to do what you are asking to do. 

One thing to be be aware of is your levels, it can conflict with existing levels. I would edit the numbers to plus 1000 or plus 10000 to make sure nothing new was being shared with something from the other file.

Thanks guys

That's what I did prior to this thread but I was hoping there was a newer, less painful way .

Thanks again
