MASTERCAM®: Tech Tip
Mastercam X7 "Update Mastercam®"
With the recent release of Mastercam® X7 a new update option has been implemented In the past going to Help > Update Mastercam® would take you to the Mastercam® downloads site where you could could download any needed MU's, then install them yourself. With X7 this process is more automated. Selecting "Update Mastercam®" will open a dialog where you can choose to automatically check for updates, and to notify you of new updates. If you click on the "Check Now" button, if there is an update available it will be automatically installed. You will need to manually close Mastercam® at some point, this is not being done automatically yet.
In addition to major Maintenance Updates, there will now be minor periodic updates called "Service Packs" available.
