think Win 10 is the problem

have done that, it shows on the config list where i want it to go, but it doesn't go there... guess we'll just set up a desktop shortcut pointing to the other locnations.

ok think i have got 2018 sorted with the post/config. but now X8 wont to save the NC files in my chosen directory.... we don't want them in the std "c//doc/myx8/mill/nc", we want a different folder "c//doc/mcam nc". as we want both X8/2018 posts to store in the same place. the X8 config is set "mill nc programs = c//doc/mcam nc" but it wont go there... any suggestions?

ok, they finally finished installing both versions, and i have gotten X8 back up and running. now focusing on 2018. what do i have to do to import the mach def and the post over to 2018? and will that affect the X8 version? any simple walk throughs i can follow?

We have X8 installed, and finally we are getting 2018 installed on the same computer. Will there be any problems having both on there, not using at same time? Also just found out we we are getting a new computer, so should we install X8 then 2018 or it won't matter? If we have both on there, is there any thing we have to do, migrating files etc between them? Or just let each install on their own? Thanks

does Design do solids as well or only surfaces? the brochures on the web are a bit vague. we do cores and cavity's, electrodes etc for plastic injection moulds, plus jig n fixtures for assembly.

we use a single seat of Mastercam X8 with "Mill Level 3 and Solids" on 1 computer at work. they pay the yearly maintenance license, and have X9 still in box and awaiting our IT to install 2017. we only have 1 HAAS mill atm, but plans are afoot for another HAAS early next year. there are only 2 of us that use Mastercam/HAAS, and it gets crowded sometimes. the other bloke said that there used to be a standalone dwg/solid modeling package, does everything except tool paths, his thinking is that someone could be on the other computer, do all the prep, and only use the full version for tool paths. does this still exist with X8 and above, if so what is it called? just thought i'd ask here, then i know what i'm talking about when/if our rep ever gets back to me. thanks

unsure if we had the opps default from X5 migrated over, our IT dept did all that upgrading. the post is the only thing i know of that was copied over error says "whatever cutter path" not found in your opperation defaults c/user/pub/doc/shared.mcx6/mill/ops/mill_mm.defaults.6 how do we fix? or is a re install required? thanks

we have X6 mill level 3 and solids at work trying to machine an electrode at the moment and went to use high speed paths on the solid. when i click on toolpath it says that path is not in opps folder. (cannot remember the exact wording, at home atm) tried roughing and finishing paths, no joy dynamic dosent do anything either. am i missing something or doing it wrong? or is something missing with our install? i'm sure i have used them b4. we have had X3 thru to current X6 level 3 n solids. thanks

we have recieved a lot of files (about 450) of our mould electrodes and cav details from one of our outside contractors who has closed shop. we need to access some of the solid models, but he used V7 and we have X6 here. i am only after the surfaces and solid models created, not the tool paths etc is there a converter program availble? or what is the earliest version of X that will open them? (we have back to X3, if we can find an old computer to run it as we upgraded to 64bit recently) thanks

thanks guys, installed "InventorView 2013" and all is good with mastercam reading the file.

running mc x6mu2 on one computer station and running autocad inventor lt 2013 on another station. both running win7x64. which add-on do i need to install on the mc station to be able to use the inventor solid? "Direct Conv. - Mastercam X6 Direct for Autodesk Inventor 64-bit" or "X6 Translator Update - Autodesk Inventor View 2013 x64" or anything else i need to do? thanks

thanks all email sent to in-house.

i purchased these for private learning use, directly from in-house, so i dont exactly have a dealer. guess i'll try in-house then? thanks

last november i bought Mastercam Mill X4 Level 1 & 3 Training books from In-House Solutions, which came with the HLE dvd's. have had it installed at home and using it till 2 days ago when it stopped working. ok. i read somewhere that it is a six month demo, with 4 times install, giving 2 years usage. so i tried to reinstall, but get nothing. have tried repair, and modify, but still nothing. i have deleted all files/ folders and purged the registry, and started from scratch, but still no reinstall. whats going on? how do i get it to reinstall? thanks
