Q: I have saved parts or reports from my M2 software. Where can I find them on my system?
A: After the first launch of the M2 software a folder, named “Metlogix”, will be created at the following path:
Drive Letter:\Users\Public\Public Documents\
This folder can also be reached through the Win7 libraries folder in Documents\Public Documents.
The Metlogix file output folder will contain the following sub-folders:
- Backups: Will contain settings, and error correction backup files. Backups are generated every 7 days by default however this backup interval can be configured within a Metlogix configuration file. Please contact your Metlogix representative for assistance with making this change.
- Exports: This folder will contain measurement data export files. Files containing measurement data will be exported from the M2 software’s data view to this folder location in either .txt or .csv format.
- Images: This folder will contain images saved from the Image Archive feature of the M2 software.
- Parts: This folder will contain saved part program files from the M2 series software. Files saved to this directory will have the extension “.mlxpart”.
- Settings: This folder will contain the core settings files of your M2 software installation. The setup file
“SettingsM2.xml” will be stored in this folder. This file contains all major file settings parameters for your
M series software installation. This folder may also contain additional configuration files(metlogix.ini), camera settings files(LastDeviceDetected.xml), or error correction files(NLECnew.txt).
**The Backup, Export, Images, and Parts folders can be assigned to custom output locations or folders using the “File Locations” settings screen, located within in the main settings screen.
