Re: Plasma swap from Mill to Plasma software
yes, there is a swapping utility included with the Plasma v4.80 installer.
c:\cncm\resources\plasmaRouterSwap
SETUP:
Install Plasma
Setup Plasma
Rename cncm directory to cncm-plasma
Install Router
Setup Router
Copy "Plasma Router Swap.exe" to your desktop
USAGE:
Shut down cnc12 (and anything else running out of the cncm directory)
Double click "Plasma Router Swap.exe" on your desktop
- This will rename the cncm directory to cncm-router (or cncm-plasma)
- This will rename the cncm-plasma directory (or cncm-router directory) to cncm
- This will launch cnc12
NOTES:
Nothing can be running out of the cncm directory when "Plasma Router Swap.exe" is run
Ensure that the cncm-plasma and cncm-router directories do not both exist at the same time and that you have a cncm directory
