Configurations, machine definitions, control definitions, post processors. Can't give exact file names because we do not know what you may have added or modified.
Look for files that are later than the original install date.
Sort in file explorer by date created probably will work.
This applies to lots of software in a windows environment.
Probably in multiple places on the computer too.
Do a search of your hard drive for mcamx6. There will usually be 3 main folders. mcamx6 (main program install folder) Shared mcamx6 and my mcamx6 The shared mcamx6 and my mcamx6 folders will be the ones you will want to copy and replace on your new install However if you are going upgrading to win 7 from xp the files will have to be put in different locations than they are in xp. How do I know this...did 3 installs on 3 computers in 6 months.. good grief
Oooops my bad...if you are transplanting x4 search for x4 and so on.
snkdriver can search for mcamx6 all he likes.
It's X4 he needs to transplant.
Sorry but please do not follow Neil20 or Serjack as this two options will not give you good results. as for sure there were major changes between X4 and X6 directorys and you stated X4.
Now what are you wanting to move over beside the CNC_Machine and say the Mill folder these will contain the Machines and post files along with tool libraries and Material lib's that you made on the laptop.
Now are you looking to move over your configaration of MC?
