Ya,I just got one too.

It's spam??????

I didn't click the link,I deleted it.

[Bullines]

It's spam? Can you post the code behind the email message or forward me a copy? I'd like to see if someone's going phishing.

[DavidB]

Me to but no link only to delist from MC

[Bullines]

Don't visit that link. But can you send me the real link (not the one that's textually displayed)?

[one shot]

I am in the zone... just don't know which one.

If you do not wish to receive e-mails from us in the future, visit http://www.mastercamzone.com/removeme.asp

[Bullines]

Hmmm. The site is owned by CNC Software and the "remove" link in the email seems legit:

 

code:

---

If you do not wish to receive e-mails from us in the future, visit <A 

href="

http://www.mastercamzone.com/removeme.asp"

TARGET="_BLANK">

http://www.mastercamzone.com/removeme.asp</A>

---

But the email originated from here. Anyone from CNC care to comment?

[Allan Brown]

"Serving Connecticut and Western Mass."

 

I think it's a legit email that just had no content.

[gcode]

I got one too.

Has anyone checked the extranet for a new maintenance release?

Last week at the SoCal Users group meeting they said there would be a maintenance release this week.

Maybe that was the announcement and someone forgot to add the text to the message.

 

edit:

I think that is what happened. There is a new release on the extranet named MR0105.

They sent an email to all maintenance customers, but forgot to include the message

[DaveR]

How do I download the update?

[gcode]

I went to the Mastercam extranet and downloaded it. I think you have to be a dealer or a beta site to have extranet access.They will probably put it on Mastercam.com tomorrow.

[DaveR]

Ah, thanks gcode.

[gcode]

You might want to wait a bit before downloading this MR. I've had some problems with it on both my home and work computer.

When regening a surface pocket rough operation,I get the warning "FastZ technology not properly installed"

Disabling FastZ with the chook restores the ability to regen the operation, but without FastZ

[cadcam]

Gcode same issue here.

I just got done redoing my laptop for this same issue.

 

You are going to have to do a new install to fix it.

[gcode]

Is the fix available yet?

They should pull the download off the extranet

before more people hose their computers this morning.

Last night I stripped my home machine back to

MR0304, and reinstalled MR0904 and MR0105.

It didn't change anything

[Guest]

Same error here. Has anybody told CNC?

[gcode]

I emailed late last night and again this morning via the extranet bug report form.

[Ben Mund from CNC Software Inc.]

Hi everyone,

 

Sorry for the accidental “spam" from MastercamZone. We were preparing to send out an X Bulletin, and due to a problem with our provider, the trigger got pulled prematurely. In any case, it was sent out to about 50 people, many of whom were on the forum.

 

Thanks very much for posting the problem, and again, sorry for any confusion.

 

Best regards,

 

Ben Mund

[cadcam]

I talked to CNC this morning already. So it's in good hands.

Right Greg?
