I am a MC newbie and just installed the demo. I opened a training file of a cube but I can't rotate it with the mouse pad. Do I need to get a separate wireless mouse? Do I need a special video card of some sort? When opening the app a pop-up appears stating: The minimum system requirement for OpenCL 1.2 with double precision has not been met.

A laptop mousepad does not have the scroll button needed for the zoom function... a separate mouse is required

The boot warning is saying that your laptop is not meeting the ideal requirements ie CPU, graphics card etc
If Mastercam fires up, it should work, but not at it's best

... note.... the demo version will not run forever, it is timed. So it will stop running... I think 1 year
So practice, practice, practice

I would try a mouse button with a modifier key such as ctrl, shift or alt. It's a common function with numerous cad cam systems and the closer you emulate a desktop the happier you'll be. Can you find a cheap mouse? It doesn't care if it's wired or wireless.

Does your mouse pad have a center button like mine shown here . if so then push the center button down while moving your finger on the pad. Now for Paning use the Page up and the Page Down buttons as a keyboard option.


As for the OpenCL 1.2 in 2021 if you have this in a newer GPU we will at times use the processor on the GPU to do some of the math.If your computer has an older GPU it just wont use this as an option.

Hope this helps
