Generic .machine Files Can No Longer be Migrated

Beginning with Mastercam 2024, Mastercam will no longer migrate generic Mill-Turn .machine files from earlier versions of Mastercam. This applies to the generic Fanuc .machine files that are installed with Mastercam and to the generic Siemens .machine files that are available on the Mastercam Tech Exchange.

This is to ensure that all generic .machine files include all of the latest content and enhancements associated with the current Mastercam version. Machine files that have been migrated from earlier versions lack the most up-to-date system layer resources. This missing support can include machine components, post engine tokens, and other resources.

If your generic .machine files have custom content or features, contact your Reseller or machine developer for assistance in porting any desired modifications to the current Mastercam version.
