  1. I went from X9 to the 2017 version about a week ago now. It looks quite a bit different but isn't to hard to figure out where everything is at. I love the fact that they added a bunch of new options. Now we just need to figure out how to utilize all of them. My latest problem is when I open up a proven X9 file in the 2017 version and save it as a .mcam file. If I regenerate a facing toolpath it gives me a " Error compensating the stock boundary. Please set across and along overlaps to at least 50%" . I have be unable to correct this with changing all sorts of parameters. Which leads me to my second issue. When I am defining my stock by way of Bounding box the way I always do in X9, when I create a Bounding Box and click on End Selection, I am stuck. I cannot click on the green check, and the Enter key doesn't work. The only way I have found to get out of it is to hit Esc. This however does not remember the bounding box dimensions.
  2. Thank You. I knew it had to be somewhere.
  3. I noticed the Plane Manager was combined with the Operations Manager. I could toggle back and forth with the tab at the bottom of the Operation manager page. Then I realized I could separate it and use it like I used to and drag it to my other monitor. Then today I closed the Plane manager for something and I can't get it open again. The tab at the bottom of the Operations manager is gone. Is there a shortcut to open it? I couldn't find one.
  4. I installed windows 10 today. It was a seamless transition. I upgraded from windows 8.1 with Mastercam X9 and Gibbscam 2015 software. I have been trying everything out and so far everything works great. All of my files, icons, settings, and config. files all stayed the same. I would highly recommend upgrading to Windows 10.
