X2 or MR2

[monty]

Hi Guys,

At last I was thinking of moving to X2, Is there anybody there who still think it would be better to stay with mr2 until after X2 mr1.

I use Mill, Turn and Mill turn.

Regards.

ehh, go back to V8

MR2 was pretty good but X2 has been a relatively good upgrade.

 

Upgrade to this one

verify stinks in X2. Other than that I've noticed only a few little annoyances that X MR1 didn't have.

 

I'm desperately hoping verify gets fixed with X2 MR1 as qc said they were aware of the problem.

I used the new X2 MR1 today for the first time. They have fixed a ton of things this time around. Some of my issues have been addressed but are still not perfect. A lot of new functionality in the high speed stuff. Before you ask I got it from my MC reseller.

You mean SP1, MR1 has not been released as of yet

[Redfire427]

No I mean X2 MR1. My Masteracm dealer installed it for me today. It has a new trochoidal cutting feature in core roughing high speed toolpath. The list of things they repaired when you read the "what's new" file is staggering. I have only tried a few things with MR1 but so far so good.

Sorry but this thread needs to dissapper.

Hmmm

[ToolMan184]

Cats already out of the bag now. LETS HAVE IT!!

[Storkman]

I bet that's the last release you will get early.

[ToolMan184]

early? We have never gotten one early that Im aware of. Or you talkin bout the reseller that ket the cat out of the bag?

[Storkman]

His reseller is who I mean. To give it out early then have that person go on the forum and start telling everyone about things he has found before it has been released. Not good.

[Cuda84]

Well I did see somewhere that MR1 would be out by the end of the week. If I am looking at this correctly it is already Friday in some parts of Australia.

 

Actually after looking at a map, it looks like all of Australia is Fraday now.

Cuda 84: You said it best. I did not receive it early. I received an email stating it was available for maintenance customers, I asked for it and I received it. Take it easy guys. I've paid my dues.

[Storkman]

Nobody said you did anything wrong. Just seems like every release someone lets out early. Sure lets you know who can keep a secret and who can't.

being an MR, that's the only people who will get it. Don't ya think if it was available to all maintenance customers that it would be available to download?

[gcode]

The beta sites are testing a version known as

MR1_PC (production candidate). Normally

this is the version that everyone gets...

as long as the beta sites don't find any problems.

Sometimes dealers give the PC to some of thier customers. MR1 will get here when it gets here

That's all I can say about beta stuff

Maintenance Release Delivers Enhanced Toolpath

Control

 

Released in March, Mastercam X2 MR1 is available to all Maintenance customers and all new Mastercam customers. This release introduces new capabilities including improved toolpaths for high speed machining, multiaxis enhancements, and more. Here is a sneak peek of what the MR1 release delivers:

 

 

I hope all of this makes you edgey types happy. Maybe CNC Solutions like their Canadian customers better. I can understand that. LOL

 

As you can see, it is not a Beta version or anything like that. Good luck with your reseller.

 

Out.

ROTFLMAO

 

So I guess the Beta sites don't have a clue then do they?

PEACE

[Paul Decelles]

Gcode is correct, MR1 has not been officially released. My guess is that Prosin Molds will want to reinstall MR1 when it is released as what they have now must be a production candidate version. We're doing all we can to get this thing buttoned up as quickly as possible. Please continue to be patient (as my boss would say).

Carmen, you didn't do anything wrong, but your dealer jumped the gun. You are running beta software and you will be reinstalling when the

the official MR1 release comes out.

Meanwhile, enjoy your status as an unofficial and unintentional beta tester

Can you define: buttoned up LOL

Bump for Todd

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

Don, Now I see the light! LOL

Me thinks I would be walking the streets if I gave it to a customer without it being released.
