I migrated my copy of Rhino and madcam to a new W7 Pro PC recently. I've noticed that when I try to load cutters they always default to the MM cutter library. And my post processor always defaults to ISO. My tool library is mostly inches and I use Mach3. Is there a trick to getting my paths to default to my preferences?
PS I notice that my Rhino options are also loading defaults. I checked my folder permissions and I have full control. I have the latest release of 5 installed.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks
Jim

Thanks Dan,
I think I figured it out but it might be a workaround. I had tried the solution you suggested and it would not retain the paths. I then saved the selected paths to the 3 axis machine and it saved all the paths correctly. Now 3 axis is the only choice I see in the machine tab. Any thought on Rhino document properties defaults. I set them like in the MadCam help file and they don't stay. My toolpaths simlutor doesn't seem to draw the tool or holder.

I know this is an old thread but I am new to Madcam and am having the exact problem described by JimBar. Anyone have an answer? JimBar did you come up with a solution? Thanks.
What version of Madcam are you using?
I am using 5.0.2018.624
There was a problem with MadCam not remembering the path to the config but it is fixed in the latest service release. Don't remember version number though.
