Operating Systems Supported in X7

With the release of X7, we are dropping support of the Windows XP and Vista operating systems. With X7,
we will only support Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows 7 support will be for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Windows 8 support will be 64-bit only.

Saving to Previous Versions

Mastercam X7 does not allow you to save to a previous version Mastercam format. Use an alternate file
format if you must revert to an earlier version of Mastercam. IGES, STEP, and Parasolid are examples of
the available formats. Your geometry is saved with no toolpaths or solids history.

Using New Backplot in Mastercam Simulator

If you would like to use the new Backplot mode available in Mastercam Simulator by default, you can
make this change through the Mastercam Advanced Configuration dialog box.

1. Click Start, All Programs, Mastercam X7, Utilities, Advanced Configuration.

2. Select Mastercam X7 from the version drop-down at the top of the dialog box.
3. Select Backplot from the Mastercam Properties tree control.
4. Select Disable from the list next to the Backplot option.
