Topic: Machine Define is giving a "Cannot find *.TRN" file error.

Technote 212 Date: 07/05 Product: Machine Define  Version: v12.x

Problem:

Machine Define gives the "Cannot find C:\SM9\shared\[app].trn where [app] is a description of the type of machine the SMF file is for.

Solution:

Check your smartcam.ini and machdef.ini files located in your Windows directory. The INI files should point to the v12 install area. The default area is C:\Program Files\SmartCAM\SmartCAMv12\

In the C:\windows\smartcam.ini file under [Defaults] check that your path lines looks like this:

SmartCAMPath=C:\Program Files\SmartCAM\SmartCAMv12\

And in the C:\windows\machdef.ini file under [defaults] check that your path line looks like this:

desfname=C:\Program Files\SmartCAM\SmartCAMv12\SHARED\WMDEF.DES
