Refresh the "My MCam" Folder

Refresh the "My MCam" Folder

To refresh the "My Mcam" folder first make sure Mastercam is shut down.
Then go to the C Drive, Users, your login profile, your Documents, and rename the "My Mcam" folder. Usually we suggest adding "-org", or "-old".


Next time Mastercam is turned on, it will rebuild this folder and it will be like a fresh install. This will change the background colors, tabs, and some of the configurations. The posts processors, tool libraries, and operation defaults are saved to the "Shared Mcam" folder in the public documents.
