CMC Wizard FrameShop Mac Support

FrameReady is integrated with the Mat Designer program ‘FrameShop’ by Wizard.

• While the FrameShop software is only available for Windows, we have added a feature to export a .WZ2 file on your Mac computer.

• After export, you can move it to a Windows computer with FrameShop installed on it.

How to Export a  .WZ2 file on a Mac

Use the updated Perform > Wizard - Create .WZ2 file option to export a .WZ2 file on your Mac -- so that you can move it to a Windows computer with FrameShop installed on it.

Set up the Working WIZ Folder

1. Open Finder.

2. In the file menu bar, click Go and choose Computer.

3. In the list of drives and network locations, double-click the Startup Volume. This is usually called Macintosh HD but it may have been renamed.

4. Double-click the Library folder.

5. Create a new the Wizard folder on your Mac hard drive to store the .WZ2 files.
   
   The path is: “Macintosh HD/Library/WIZ”
   
   Your Mac may ask for the administrator password in order to create this folder.
   
   

6. In Finder, right-click the WIZ folder and choose Get Info.
   
   

7. At the bottom of the Info window are the folder Sharing & Permissions.
   
   
   
   Set all three of the options to:  Read & Write 

8. Close the Info window. Now the folder has the correct permissions for the software to be able to create the .WZ2 files

Export a  .WZ2 file

1. When you have the WIZ folder created and permissions set correctly, then locate an appropriate Work Order.

2. In the file menu bar, click Perform and choose Wizard - Create WZ2 file
   
   

3. This generates the WZ2 file, in the new folder.
   
   

4. A pop up dialog menu alerts you when the process completes.
   
   You can then take the WZ2 file and move it to a PC with the Wizard FrameShop installed on it. The filename is the number of the Work Order number that you generated the WZ2 file for.
