    MC7 to MCX-5 converter

    I've come across a couple of jobs that we have done a few years(maybe 10 years)ago when we had Mastercam 7. Well we've updated since then and currently have X5 but I can only go back to a MC8 file in X5. Anyone know how to get around this?

    nikolaiownz,
    When going from an older to newer version it keeps the paths to . it is when going from a new to older it just keeps the Geo.
