mfunc6 file auto deleting

[cncbuiltbyme]

Hey guys, I'm having some strange behavior with my mfunc6 file after installing 12 v5.06. I'm not 100% sure when the file gets deleted but if I add my mfunc6 touch plate file to the C:\cncm and run a job, the script load and everything appears to be OK. But upon reboot and I go to run a job, the mfunc6.mac file is gone and I'm guessing the default v5.06 file is loaded. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

Here's my mfunc6.mac content

Check to see what you have set in the wizard under ATC, there's a switch there for using a custom M6 file. Even if you don't have an ATC, this will overwrite or delete yours if not set.

Edited: Only when writing changes with the Wizard will it overwrite or delete your custom one, not upon reboot. If it happens without writing any changes with the wizard, then you may have something else going on.

OK will do as soon as I get back in the shop, thanks Scott.

OK, that did it... everything running smoothly again, thanks.
