    UPDATING POST

    PROCESSORS TO
    MASTERCAM 2025

    Please Note: Mastercam 2024 will only update posts from 2022, 2023, and 2024.
    If you have an older post you, will need to update it to one of these versions
    before following the steps below.

    1
    • Open Mastercam 2025.
    • With the mouse focused in the main drawing area, press Alt-C.
    • Scroll down and select UpdatePost.dll. You may not see the extension
    depending on your Windows settings.
    • Click Open.
    2
    • In the Update Post Utility, click on the filing cabinet icon to browse.
    • Browse to the location of the post processors for the version you are moving
    from.
    • Here is an example of the default location of the Mill post processors:
    C:\Users\Public\Documents\Shared Mastercam 2024\Mill\Posts

    3
    • Once you have located your previous version post processor, select and click
    Open to have the post processor (.pst file) entered in the box shown below. The
    update utility will make a copy of the new directory structure so you will not
    lose your original file.
    • Note: .dat files will not be recognized in this step. You must manually move
    these files from the 2024 directory to 2025.
    • For example (Mill):
    Move the .dat file from: C:\Users\Public\Shared Mastercam 2024\mill\Posts
    To: C:\Users\Public\Shared Mastercam 2025\mill\Posts

    4
    • Click OK (green check). Default folders are listed below for reference.
    • Repeat as desired for additional post processors.
    5 Updating your Machine and Control Definitions

    • After you have run the UpdatePost Utility on all your .pst files, it is now time to
    update your machine and control definitions.
    • Create a temporary folder somewhere on your computer (such as Temp on
    your desktop).
    • Using Windows Explorer or File Manager, copy the machine definitions (.mcam-
    mmd, .mcam-lmd, .mcam-rmd, .mcam-wmd) as well as the control definitions (.mcam-
    control) you want to update. These are usually found in your C:\Users\Public\
    Documents\Shared mastercam 2025\CNC_MACHINES directory. Now move these to your
    Temp directory.
    • Make sure the Temp directory is empty before you copy the files as any other
    Mastercam machine files will get updated as well.
    • Note: This step was done so you can simply choose the files that need to be
    updated.
    6
    • If you have a file open in Mastercam, make sure you save it as the next update
    process will not retain the file.
    7
    • In Mastercam, select the File tab and click on Convert in the list on the left.
    • Select the Migration Wizard Icon and click Advanced.
    8
    • Check the box for Migrate shared Mastercam files.
    • Uncheck Include sub-folders.
    • Click on the Browse button and select your Temp folder. The folder will most
    likely show C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared Mastercam2025\
    • Add CNC_MACHINES\ to the end of the directory and click Next.
    This step is very important.

    9
    • Uncheck File types to turn all options off.
    • Check Control definitions and Machine definitions, then click Next.
    • Note: If your Temp directory only contains the Machine and Control
    definitions you want to update, you can leave all the versions checked and
    click Next.
    10
    • Review that everything is correct, and click Finish and your files will be
    updated.
    • Note: If you are updating any types of files (Tool Libraries, Material
    Libraries, etc.), you will follow the same steps but select your specific library
    destination. For example, if you’re updating a Tool Library, here is an what
    that would look like.
