march update

[gcode]

Thanks for the reply's. It sounds like the answer

to my question is "Sort of, maybe"

 

I've been putting off buying maintenance till just before X comes out so that the I can maximise

X maintenance time. Its getting harder to justify the wait though.

I could really use some of the stuff they put out

in the March release.

The dealers are just getting the disk's at this time.

But i know that not all have received just yet.

 

So please be patient.

The download does NOT contain:

- Sample drawings

- CATIA Translator

- Design Tracker 8 (Inventor utilities)

- Postprocessors

 

So if your instaling on top of your existing system, you may no need this stuff.

Hi David

 

Did you run the new haspm.exe and update your code??

 

I also get the "maintenance has expired" warning but Mastercam still works fine go figure! I haven't had an answer to that issue yet.

 

I got my CD in the mail this morning.

 

Cheers

DavidB,

 

Sweet talk your dealer out of a CD

[DavidB]

Hi,

I run new hasp.exe file but as i noticed down the bottom is a maitenance expirery date which is dated 01/16/2004.????????

 

I rang my reseller and he said the USA have given us a wrong serial number.

 

No need to tell you how im feeling at the moment

 

[Mike Whitten CAD/CAM Contractors]

OOooppss, that's not good.

[DavidB]

No its not and i havent got the 9.1 disc's ethier so i cant install MC back to the pre march update.

 

My MC just shuts down soon as I open it

 

[Johnny]

Weird thing is mine works fine?

 

David I can upload my V9.1 sp2 cd to a directory where you can download if that helps. At least you can get back on track.

 

What do you think??

 

Cheers

[Johnny]

David

 

Its a 500meg zip file and its going to take ages to upload it took 2 minutes to send 1.5 meg so maybe not such a good idea wish i could help you out

 

Cheers

[Johnny]

David

 

Why don't you have a genuine Mastercam installation CD?

 

There must be a user close by that can lend you the CD. Failing that Bob Hill should be able to supply you with one express post by tomorrow morning.

 

Cheers

[DavidB]

Johnny,

 

My reseller did not leave the disc here

 

Bob Hill is getting a new code for me but im not holding my breath.

Search for the post SIM ENDS have a read.

 

[Johnny]

WHAT!!!

 

Thats weird, you never know when you need the disc to do a repair or something.

 

I'd doing some serious hassleing...

 

hope something goes right soon

 

Cheers

[DavidB]

Johnny,

 

Im in Melbourne my local reseller has to go threw Bob Hill for the new codes.

 

How is the service up your end of the country??

So far all the dealers got 1 disk. CNC is supplying disks to the dealers, for customers. We dont have those yet. I know it's not expensive to burn a copy for you, but it is time consuming for your dealer to do. I'm sure your dealer will be sending you a disk when he gets them from CNC. Hang tight everyone. I hate waiting to "get the new stuff" also .

Im not worried about the update now all i want is my MC working again

After I installed the March update, my finish contour cutter paths take forever to generate. We machine small electrodes and generally use .001 step downs. Yesterday one operation sat there for 3 hours and I had to use Task Manager to get out of it. When I use .oo5 step downs ,it still takes longer than it use to. Any ideas ?
