Thanks for the quick responses! I am going to do both Zip2Go and folder backups as suggested and will talk to IT about cloning my drive before it dies. Thanks for the help.

I've been informed by IT Department that my hard drive is failing. New drive being ordered as I type. How can I best prepare for reinstalling Mastercam? Thanks.

Tyler, Don't you get the router post standard with all the generic posts? I only have a mill seat but was able to get the router post to work as an exercise just playing around with right angle head and various machine definitions....what am I missing.

It's a combination of step direction and start direction parameters under flowline data. Play with them until you get what you want.

Under Analyse choose dynamic, then pick the face you want know the angle of. Angle will be relative to construction plane..

Had the same problem when we upgraded our computers. Contact reseller to get a usb hasp.

That seems to be the new way event logs are handled. I don't even get 1 file saved because I don't have an event log folder in X6. The tech at CNC thinks my install might be messed up and that the data path is incorrect. At least I can get them from from my X5 event log folder but they may be specific to my slightly screwed up install.

Where is the appdata folder located?

Just got off phone with CNC Tech. His install is behaving just like left coast lefty. Folder exists but only stores some event logs.... I told him I would like it back the old way. He says he will e-mail me when/if he comes up with anything on why only certain logs are saved...

I asked about this once before and got nothing. Asked my reseller - also nothing. The workaround seems to be to leave X5 installed. It creates multiple event files for the same day but you can tell by the timestamp which ones are complete. I would like to uninstall X5 and not have to run both versions at the same time just to get the event files....

Not much help from me because I have the same question.... I use my event files to fill out my time sheets. I too am using X6 MU2 Win 7. I still have X5 loaded and have found that if I open X5, leave it open, and then open X6 my event logs end up in the "mymcam5\event log" folder. I added the event log folder to "mymcam6" which the install did not create and it never populates. The X6 event log is open and active while X6 is open and can be found as a temp file while X6 is open but it never gets saved to the proper folder when X6 gets closed. Anybody got a clue on this?

The single pixels you are seeing are probably arc centers.

Slightly off topic but my install off X6 MU1 is not logging properly. If I have X5 already open the event logs in the X5 folder will log X6 events while they are both open. When I have X6 open exclusively I get one event file in my AppData\Local\Temp directory that gets overwritten when I re-open X6. No logs ever appear in my X6 event logs folder. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks for the help folks... I was hoping to be able to use more than 2 or 3 points. I'm trying to compare some CMM data to geometry and I need best fit for 12-14 points.

Is there a way to create a best fit circle from points in X4?
