Can you put the file on cadcam's ftp site?

Also you could create a solid of your surface then in file/converters/stl/write ascii and save it on data folder, you will get an stl file. After from verify/configure, check files and choose your previously saved files in stl format

I usually keep the same driver until i make an update on mastercam (or another software). Also if i was upgrading my system. I am using FX1400 nvidia video card (pretty old) but still working good even with X3MU1. So i don't need to upgrade my driver.

It's a post issue, I took my post (for hitachi) and works find. Here is my output: O0001(TEST SUBT-18 DIA-.25) (FINISH .406 SLOTS) (MAX | Z3.)

Rory, I usually blank my geometry that i don't need for toolpath or any other reason. So i don't see them on the screen.

In X2MR2, you will get the STL into lines. With X3MU1, you can import as stl mesh so you can shade it

Chris Thank you for logging this issue. Sorry that will delete files from 'temp' folder only. The following command should be used instead RMDIR /S/Q C:McamX3commontemp md C:McamX3commontemp /s: include all subdirectories /q: will NOT prompt before delete That will completely delete 'temp' folder without prompting and ask question if you want to delete or not in each folder. And make new directory called 'temp'.

Temporally process could be using a script file like batch file and execute "del C:McamX3commontemp*.*" inside. So by executing this file will erase the file in the specified path.

Mike, Did you answered 'YES' when asked if you have move than one folder from the imported file? On my computer, it doesn't mix it up. Hope, it help...

Have you looked at your filter if activated it should join the lines with arc filtering

Sorry, i misunderstood the question. What Eric said is better. quote: First go to config / start/exit / set start up product to design. it should do what your asking for.

I had a similar problem before, we (my reseller and QC of mastercam) found that my path in the default.config file was wrong. I you open 'default.config' file you should see the path from your actual installation. Yours is probably set to your old installation. You need to set them at your actual installation.

The best way i found is using subprogram for each tool, then i create two different main, one for the setup and the other for production. So wathever modification i do as implementation, it always good for both production and setup. Also, when using two different machine for each operation, i can optimise each main program from the machine.

You're welcome
