I wonder why MC is so far behind on a state of the art machine. It has to be costing them new seats . I suspect we will probably end maintenance on MC.
Sorry Josh, I misunderstood the question. I know our reseller came in to discuss it and that they are looking at other packages to run it other than MC. In other words I really don't know yet.
That's true. LOL
I think they are deciding still on what to use Josh. They just set it up last week. I believe that it can do the B-Axis turning from what I was told.
Mastercam 7 will not open for me. It says maintenance has expired and I need to use an older version. I know it's up to date but IT guy is not here and gone until Monday. Is there anything I can do? Running on a Nethasp.
I like my program number to default to a certain number to make sure I don't overwrite another program in my machine. After just updating to X7 I forget how to make it default to the same number I want every time I program a new file. Does any remember where I do that at? I know how to edit the number but I want a number that sticks.
Thanks Colin.
It already was set to default to wire. I ended up having to go to Utilities in X7 and deactivate mill through the mastercam launcher. Don't know why but it worked and then my operation defaults came up in my control definition. PIA every time I update. I think I will use X7 until I retire.
I see nothing new in Wire anyway.
I have downloaded x7 and then updated to x7sp2. Things didn't look right so I uninstalled all of it and then re installed. When I did EVERYTHING came back in just like I hadn't done anything. One of my problems I have is in the control definition under operation defaults the only thing that pops up is Mill. I am using WIRE. I cannot make my wire poer library stick no matter what I do. Anyone have any idea what I have done wrong?
