Creating a Backup for your Mastercam Setup

In this tech tip video, Justin demonstrates how to create a backup file with folder structures for your Mastercam setup. Customizing your dashboard with tabs, features, and more is a key benefit of implementing Mastercam. However, with Mastercam support, you're often instructed to reset your configurations, which unfortunately erases your customized setup. This video guides you through creating a backup to ensure you don't lose your setup when you need to reset your configs.

How do you quickly change your config files for switching monitor setups? I often switch between programming at my desk and on the floor depending on need and would love to be able to switch my setup quickly from a 2x 4k monitor setup to laptop, or 1 montor+laptop at home.

The easist way to do this is to build different folders in the My Mastercam Backup that will reflect which setup you want. Now you cannot rename the My Mastercam folder, it will not work, so place them in folders that will show which one is which. if you look at the 4:40 mark on the video you can see that there is a folder for 4k and then just a standard file. The My Mastercam folder that you see in the video at that mark is my Mastecam setup for the laptop monitor, then there is a My Mastercam folder inside of the 4K folder that is for my 4 K monitor setup. You then just copy the My Mastercam folder for the monitor setup you want and paste/replace the folder in the C:\Users\"YOUR_USERNAME"\Documents. By doing this it will pull that Mastercam setup for that monitor setup.
