Hello.
I wonder if someone could help me.
I am i part time teacher and have acces to a education mastercam. I have been so stupid that i have used this at home to program a machine at my other work for a time ago. Does somebody know if i can convert the files to a normal mcx file? Or will i have to draw and program it all over again? The programs are running now, but if i want to open the files at work to edit something it do not work.
Hope some of you experts out there can help me to a easy way.
Sorry for bad english again:-P

There is no way to save this as a MCX file. even on a dealer sime we can not.

As an aid, you could save the drawing as a STEP or DXF ( depends on what you have on-screen )

Not sure if you could export the toolpaths ( with tools & geometry, R-click in the operation manager window will bring up the menu ) and then import it back into MCX - you may get version clash - it's worth a try
but re-create the toolpath ops, same everything, even the geometry you had selected, & it will be close to what you had.
