I got new computer with windows 10. installed MasterCam X6 MU1 (company is to chip to upgrade to newer version). In order for it to work I had to "Disable hardware acceleration".
everything is working, but when I run my old files in verify with custom tools that i made on a level, tools don't look the way they are
described on the level. Geometry of the tool looks correct but the tool in verify not. maybe there is some settings I'm missing.
and all the tools and material look very choppy.
Thanks.

Hi!
Can anybody take a look at my first macro program and tell me if it make any sense to you.
I need to engrave serial # on my parts.
every four parts need to have the same serial #.
here is what I came up with:
O0010(MAIN PROGRAM)
………..
IF [#501 LE 4] GOTO 1
IF [#501 GE 5] AND [#501 LE 8] GOTO 2
IF [#501 GE 9] AND [#501 LE 12] GOTO 3
IF [#501 GE 13] AND [#501 LE 16] GOTO 4
IF [#501 GE 17] AND [#501 LE 20] GOTO 5
……………..

Thanks in advance.
Today ones of a sudden I got verify ribbon bar when running verify.
Help says verify ribbon bar displays when you select the verbose check box.
I never selected verbose check box.
when I'm running verify, ribbon bar stays empty with no info.
I'm using MCX6.
Thanks.

Is there a way to make MC remember the location of STL file.
Sometimes I use compare to STL file in verify.
Each time I restart the computer MC loses the location of STL file.
I keep STL files in the same folder as part files and ea. part has its own folder.
Thanks.
I have been running cimco editor that comes with mastercam all the time.
Everything was running fine. But recently I start having problems opening the editor.
I got the message “mastercam hasp not found!”
At the same time I have no problem opening mastercam.
So obviously mastercam can find the hasp.
I’m running windows 7.
I tried using windows compatibility mode and it did worked for a while,
but today I started computer after a long weekend & cimco editor refuses to open.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, in both X5 & X6 hasp set to hasp\local.
It is no big deal as long X6 is working,
but it is interesting know what happend.
maybe i just need to take it out, reboot the computer and then put it back in?
I used to open any version of MC X5 or X6 when I need it,
but now something happened.
I can open X6, but when I try to open X5,I get the message "no SIM found".
Thanks
