    Mastercam Regenerates Toolpath Everytime I open?

    I just got a new computer and reinstalled mastercam. I got all the settings where I want(for now) finallly after having issues getting toolbars to stay on start up. Now I'm noticing everytime I open a file I always have to regenerate my toolpath. I don't recall doing this before and it's become a huge pain in the @$$ especially on some mold parts. Any ideas why this is happening?

    OP what version are you using?

    In MCX-

    Settings>Configuration>Files>

    Make sure "Restore entire toolpath data in file, Open" is checked.

    Thanks for responding guys. We are using X5 and because we are using two brand new seperate computers we basically figured out we need to move all the shared files to somewhere that they can be shared. We moved them to the server as well as copy the config file from the old computer again and everything is working great now. Full Mastercam Ahead!
