Thanks I will do that. So do I also need to install sevice pack 1 before installing service pack 2?

Is anyone else experiencing their mastercam X2 MR2 program crashing upon opening? It was running fine for one week in beginning of December 2007 the it just refused to open. I fixed the problem after many hours by a complete unenstall and reinstall. It has been running perfectly until this morning 21-1-2008 and refuses to open. I have tried resetting to an earlier date and have run all the mastercam repair programs, with no luck. The computer is well within the necessary specs, but it is a computer. Any suggestions please....., Daniel

You are a genius! That is exactly it. I can now stop banging my head aginst the wall. Many thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Was that with Control, not just Computer?

In verstion X2, when programming in imperial, the tool radius compensation fails to work (using Control) if the tool diameter is less than 0.3" The same fault occurs in metric. Is there a setting that is governing the size of the tool diameter that the control feature for tool radius compensation will not work? (It chooses its own lead in/out regardless of any settings made) If the tool radius compensation is set to Computer the compensation works fine.

I have updated Using MCX Mill Level 3 SP1 Update 1 but still can't copy and paste or drag operations into a new tool group without it being renumbered. It would appear to be something to do with reading from the default tool library???

Yes you are right. Thanks again

Thanks. I will have a look at that.

Has anyone had problems with the operations manager breaking up the operations into several different programs when posting? Is it a setting somewhere? Also how can you copy and paste the operations to a new tool group and not have the tool numbers automatically renumbered?
