I'm setting up a new PC for our primary Mastercam user and just want to confirm that I should be able to copy his cnc_machines, mill and lathe folders along with the converter code for Pro/E from the existing install on his current PC to the install of Mastercam on his new PC. I read another post that indicated this should work. The version of Mastercam is the same (X4 mu3) but the new PC is substantially different, so I'm not sure if that effects the ability to easily transfer these files and have him hit the ground running with the new PC. Here are the PC configs:
Old PC: Dell Precision 360, 2.52 GHz Pentium 4, 1 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro 4 700XGL graphics card. Running Windows XP 32 bit SP3 with Mastercam X4 MU3 installed at C:\McamX4
New PC: Dell Precision T3500, 2.27 GHz Intel Quad Core Xeon (core i7), 6 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX580 graphics card. Running Windows7 64 bit, with mastercam X4 MU3 installed at c:\mcamx.
All the CNC programs he generates are stored on the network and the machine definitions etc are already backed up to the network.
Any tips / words of caution or simple "yup, that should work" are appreciated.
