Backing up Toolbars
Toolbars are contained within the workspace file which is user specific.
Mastercam 2017 comes with only one workspace that can be used or modified. The option to create custom workspaces is no longer available.
Go to C:\Users\username\Documents\my mcam (version)\CONFIG
Copy Mastercam.Workspace to a backup location.
To restore this workspace, add it to another user or add to another workstation and place the file in the same location. Keep in mind that workspaces are user specific.
