    opening a mastercam x file on v9

    i use mastercam x to program all my 2d. i work in the cad room. several of the machinist that work on the floor use v9. is there a way i can save my program including toolpaths so that the machinist can open them up on the shop floor using v9?

    No. Not with the toolpaths.

    You can do a Save and pick a file type of .MC9. This will save the geometry but not the toolpaths.

    If the toolpaths are done, why dont you just post it for their machine?

    I found the transition to X a bit challenging at first, but rewarding in the end. Don't let these guys get frustrated with the change they'll thank you when they finally get it.
