Topic: 2022: Could not find or load '..\shared\mover.pcb'.

Technote 213 Date: 09/05 Product: All SmartCAM Applications Version: v12.x

Problem:

At start up of SmartCAM applications the diagnostics window opens with a 2022: Could not find or load '..\shared\mover.pcb' error

Solution:

Quit any SmartCAM applications that are running.

Check that mover.pcb exists. With a default installation it will be here:

C:\Program Files\SmartCAM\SmartCAMv12\SYSTEM\shared

If it does not then something happened during your installation and an uninstall - reinstall will be necessary.

Check your applications INI file. This is located in your SmartCAM [HOME] drive/directory. Opening a Command Prompt usually opens to your [HOME] drive and directory.

Application INI files are name as follows:

ffm.ini (FreeForm Machining)
amill.ini (Advanced Milling)
pmill.ini (Production Milling)
aturn.ini (Advanced Turning)
pturn.ini (Production Turning)
afab.ini (Advanced Fabrication)
awedm.ini (Advanced Wire EDM)

With Explorer navigate to this dirve/directory, then to directory SmartCAM. Open your applications INI file with Notepad. Check this section (towards the bottom):

[UserMenu]
MenuName1=Dynamic Nest
MenuPcb1=..\shared\mover.pcb

Change the MenuPcb1 line to read (assuming a default installation):

MenuPcb1=C:\Program Files\SmartCAM\SmartCAMv12\shared\mover.pcb

Save the file and start your application.
