File Options For CAD/CAM 9

[jolico]

We have purchased an additional license for CAD/CAM and are running on 2 different computers. The newer licence came with a slightly more updated version than our first license. After we complete a design in the newer version, we are unable to save it as a GM File. The only two options in the drop-down are FCM File and ALL Files neither of which are useful for transfer to the CNC. We have been saving the CDL File and transferring it to the older version to convert to GM. Is there something we are missing or maybe a setting that is off that would enable us to save a GM file under our new license? Transferring between computers is not always physically possible.

when you save a file as a GM you need to
Go to Machine/ Output
When that window pops up on the top left you should see a drop down window labeled Device in that drop down it should say Accumove Imperial.
if it says torchmate dual tool driver , it will save as an fgc.

That seems to have solved the issue. I figured it was going to something like that. Thank you.
