Topic: Predator Editor doesn't launch from the Icon bar

Technote 205 Date: 02/05 Product: SmartCAM Applications; Version: 12.x

The default application Icon bar includes a Predator Editor for SmartCAM icon. This icon launches the Predator CNC Editor and loads the current Code file (if one exists). An assumption is made that the Predator Editor for SmartCAM is installed in the default location. If this is not the case, then complete the following steps to resolve the problem.

1. Open \SHARED\SYSMCL\PEDITOR.MCL in a text editor This is the SmartCAM macro that runs the editor, it is a text file. It can be edited with any text editor, such as Predator Editor for SmartCAM or Notepad.

2. Locate the line ‘#EPath=”C:\\Program Files\\Predator Software\\Editor 6.1\\PEditor.exe”’

3. Change the path to match where you installed the Editor

Change the path contained between the two quotes to the actual location of PEditor.exe. Remember to use double-quotes around the path string and to use double slashes to separate paths. Save the macro file. You are done.
