  1. I had to change names in the Registry and then change them back again one installed. Certain file data paths were no being saved until we realized there was another setting which had to be changed, etc etc. Just little things but very annoying for what should have been a straight forward install. Did MCfWS x6 install over the top of MCfSW x5 or was it a separate stand alone install.
  2. Inquiring if any one has upgraded from MCfSW x5 to MCfSw x6 and if so how did it go. I had some issues when I installed MCfSW x5 originally and don't want to go thru the same problems again. Cheers Bruce
  3. Is this update and migration process the same for MCfWS X5 to MCfSW X6.

    MCfSW x 5

    Thanks Ryan, I got exactly the same response from MC tech support this morning . I had been trying to resolve this issue for the last week and have been sending emails back and forth the MC tech support daily . I do not use MC or MCfSW myself much, I just set it up for my staff etc, but I wonder why there are so many areas within MC to set the same file paths etc. For example the "Tool library" can be set in the mcamx.config file, in machine definition manager under "general machine parameters", and the machine group properties. I would have thought the config file would have been the master ??. Do MC have any documentation that explains all these relationships and how they work together with each other.

    MCfSW x 5

    Tried that as well, it seems no matter what I do it defaults back to the C drive, and not the G drive (the server). Were is MCfSW reading these setting from during startup, it's either NOT reading all the settings in the "mcamxm.config file" or something is over riding these settings during startup.
  6. I have just recently upgraded from X2 the MCfSW X5 and I'm having some file configuration issues. I have attached a PDf file which I hope will explain my problem. Has anyone else experienced a similar or the same problem. MCfSW tool library-3.pdf
  7. I am also having issues installing X2 onto a PC running window 7. If I try and run X2 a little window pops up and says: "Cannot open HASP driver" If I upgrade my NetHasp driver to Ver 5.2 will I also need to get new update "code file". I am reluctant to do any of this until I have all the answers, as I don’t want to cause problems for the other X2/PC’s running windows XP on the network.
  8. Quick question, in the "surface rough contour" parameters is their a "multi pass" feature like in a 2D contour toolpath. ???? I have a part that does not a a uniform amount to come off a internal 3D contour surface, and taking it in one cut is going to be to much to remove.
  9. Thanks Colin, It's all a lot clearer now. I Have not used magics RP, but did play with the minimagics while trying to sort out these STL files. Tanks again.
  10. Sorry Guys, I must be having a bad hair day !!! I have tried what you have suggested edmbosto, but I can't get the STL file to look like a solid or surfaced model when I open it.
  11. After reading more about what a STL file is made up off, maybe what I see on the screen is correct. Is anyone able to put up a picture of what a STL file looks like in X2.
  12. Has anyone had much to do with saving and opening STL files with X2. I was hoping to use X2, to generate STL files for use on a 3d printer. However when I open a STL file in X2 all the surfaces have disappeared, and there a lines going in every direction.
  13. I have started getting some error messages in the last week when I load X2. Is there an easy way to attach a picture in this message box to help explain the errors, or do I need to do it thru the FTP upload section.
  14. Thanks for all the feed back. Camline have been in touch so I hope to have it sorted by this time tomorrow. In the mean time I will check out the sites listed above. Thanks again.
  15. HTH Will this work in the background like Camline WinDNC. So the machine operator only has to input the progam number/name on the machine and their is no need for him to use the PC.
