The Cam Connection is not actually integrated into the SmartCAM interface. The "Import" and "Export" menu selections only serve to call the external Cam Connection program. The Cam Connection can only translate files saved to disk. When exporting you need to save the current file first in order to export the latest version. When importing it creates a temporary file on disk called "camcon" that is then automatically loaded into memory. This temp file is not deleted afterward. Apparently your translation is failing somewhere and the temp file is never updated. Look for a file called "camcon.pm4" and delete it. The default path for this file is "C:\SM9\TEMP_IMP\camcon.pm4" You may want to try running the Cam Connection outside of SmartCAM from the Start menu. This may give you some indication as to where it is failing,

How do I clear the old file to get the new one? I've never had this happen before, what's wrong?
