Hi all!
I have been using Mastercam for several years, and have now installed Mastercam 2017. Because I want
to have my own custom toolbar, I have now begun to build a custom tab in the Ribbon Bar. But there is
one thing I don't understand. Totally random, some buttons are displayed as large, and some are displayed
as small. Here's an example where I have added 7 commands I use often:
As you can see, one button will be small, and the rest large. This is very annoying, and looks strange.
It becomes impossible to create a smooth custom tab when it behaves like this.
Is there anyone here who know what I'm doing wrong?
Where is the setting that determines the size of the buttons?
I had the same problem after I installed X5, but without uninstalling X4 first. I solved it like this:
1. Uninstall all Mastercam that you have installed.
2. Go into the registry (regedit) and delete all keys containing any of the following:
"cnc software"
"mastercam"
"mcamx"
Use search to find all.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Install Mastercam.
Now it works to associate files to Mastercam again.
I now have a solution to the problem. If anyone else would get the problem so the solution is as follows:
The parameter for the automatic startup of MCWhatsNew.exe is here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, CNC Software, Mastercam X5
Change the value Whats New from 0 to 1.
If the value is missing, simply create a DWORD value named Whats New, and set the value to 1.
Thanks for the help, Torbjorn Kvick on Ame AB (www.ameab.se)
Thanks for the tip.
I have the file xmllite.dll in C:\Windows\System32, so I don´t miss it.
I have mailed [email protected], but they don't respond (yet).
Hi!
Excuse my bad English. I am using a translating program.
My name is Jonas and I'm from Sweden.
My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Mastercam X4 MU3 works perfectly, but when I tried to install the X5, I get an error
message every time I start the program.
I can just close this error message and then Mastercam works as it should, but this is very annoying.
I have tried to install the X5 on two different computers, but the same error message comes up.
Since my Windows is in Swedish so I also attached a translation of the error message.
I have also tried to start the file MCWhatsNew.exe manually in Windows explorer without
starting Mastercam, but the same error message comes up.
So, I have two questions:
1. Does anyone here know what this error is due, and have a solution?
2. If no one knows how I solve this, how do I turn off the automatic start of MCWhatsNew.exe
when I start Mastercam X5?
Thanks in advance...
