oneyankfan1, I stumbled on to something that may lead to a little less frustration in regards to the tool manager. open it and drag the assembly tab, and holder tab to the right most position out of the way, and adjust the width of the other tabs to you liking. when you close and open the tool manager, the assembly & holder tabs should stay to the right. I hope this helps. it worked for me. Fretless

oneyankfan! Did you get that to work? I have the same challenge here and I'm interested in finding the answer.

I guess it was a fluke that it even worked in X4, the problem is, I could not see all the Machine groups as was the case in X4 In X6 I could only see the Machine group that I was working on. Thank you for your help!

thank you K2csq7, ill try it.

Hey team, What would cause the inability to transform operations between Machine groups? I used to program one side of a part using a machine group for each operation, and if I needed to build many parts I would add a machine group with just the transforms in it. It worked really well and is clean. since using X6 the previous operations I need to transform are not visible from the "Type and Methods" tab. am I missing something?

I got it to work, Thank you Gunther!

Mr. Massimo, Do you know of anything that can prevent the ability to see the X+ toolbar in the settings\customize\toolbar list? I am loading X+ for X6 on a coworkers computer that has win 7. I have opened the X+ft file, modified and saved as X+.ft with the correct path. I can run X+ from the alt+c. I have read the all the posts on this topic. It is working on my computer, I just don't understand why it is not working on his. I love this tool! Thank you in advance

John, I wasn't moving it between versions. I'm transitioning from x4 to x6. I had no problems with x+ for x4. I saw modifications to the x+.ft file that have to be made for x5. are the similar changes required for x6? Thank you for your help I believe I had the X+ for x6. I could not find "how to install instructions for x6" do you have to modify the x+.ft file? when I try to load the x+ tool bar it is not there. sorry for the communication error on my part. Thank you again.

1. Move the X+ folder to "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5\" 2. Open "X+.ft" with a text editor (the file is located in the chook folder) 3. replace all "chook\X+" paths with "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5\X+" It should look like this: APPLICATION "TList" FUNC_DLL "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5\X+\tlist.dll" RES_DLL "C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared mcamx5\X+\lang.dll" CATEGORY "X+" FUNCTION CPP "m_main" SBMP 18002 LBMP 18003 TIP 1 END_FUNCTION Please help, I really appreciate this tool and have used it on x4 I have read and executed the afore mentioned instructions, and I must be missing something because it is not working. the only thing different for mcam6 FUNC_DLL "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\shared mcamx6\X+\tlist.dll" RES_DLL "C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\shared mcamx6\X+\lang.dll" I have a fresh install of x6 and have spent the good part of a day trying to get this awesome tool to work. I can't find the toolbar to launch X+. I moved the x+ launcher to a temp folder and executed from there. and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Can you help me? Thank you!

Installation complete, now for the post, cd, and mmd updates. Thank you guys again! .

Thank you gcode, it is there, and I'm proceeding with the install!

Thank you Team, and Kevin no Thank you. I was informed they are on our server and I was attempting to install it when the following notification appeared: mastercam X6 requires the following items to be installed on your computer.Click Install to begin these requirements. Click "the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) appears to have failed". Do you want to continue the installation? I clicked "no" Any suggestions?

idk, higher ups looking for the disk.

Thank you, Oscar R. I think the View all Mastercam downloads. link is not working for some reason I'll try again tomorrow!

Thank you,gcode

My question, is it better to upgrade to X5 then X6 or just skip X5 and load X6.

your main program needs the sub call, M198 P1000 (example) this is the main program. O100 M1 M198 P1000 M1 M30 your card will have the O1000 number with an M99 at the end. you also have to set you I/O to read the card

we have just run from the card, no need to drip feed. m198 pxxx

dirty limit switch?

Thank you All for the help. have a great weekend!
