Version 9.0 Service Pack 1

[Scott Bond]

Hi all

This is on the web sight. YEH !!

Have any of you loaded it ?

I will be loading mine on Monday.

[cadcam]

I was just going to post that this was up on the MC site.

I will put a copy on the FTP here to.

[cadcam]

Oh ya the SP1 does fix things all right.

Thank CNC

 

I suggest to everyone running V9 to download and install SP1.

Here is a link to the SP1 on the FTP

All SP1 files

[Allan Brown]

As usual with Mastercam Patches, applying the SP1 patch to a fresh install of V9.0 seems to be the cleanest way to go. The patch will not apply to files with dates newer than the original install.

[Glenn Bouman]

Good point Dave. To avoid that problem download V9SP1.EXE it has all the updated files that are generated by the patches for Mill/Lathe/Wire and Design.

 

This download is even smaller than all the patches combined.

 

Jay could you delete v9sp1.zip as it is incomplete?

[cadcam]

Glenn what is the all most 20 meg file in the main SP1 folder?

I have deleted the zipped one.

 

I am getting ready to go to the office do you want me to make that file a *.Zip file?

[SLJ]

Guys

downloaded the V9SP1.exe file from cadcam site per Glenn. When I tried to open the Cimco editor I got a "install not finished" error. Went back and downloaded the Cimco editor to make sure. It works fine from the desktop icon, but when posting from mastercam I still get the "install not finished" error. MCcam and Pcedit both work fine. I've tried rebooting and resettig the config. for cimco but still the same error.

Kind of thickheaded this morning(moreso than usual) what did I do wrong?

Hi!

 

Could I get the V9SP1.exe from somewhere other than the ftp?

 

I ran the Nhs9sp1.exe first, restarted the HASP loader (services - win2k) but the NetHasp shows "NetHASP not found on the network".

 

I ran the Lathe9sp1.exe, with the patch warning "old file not found ... No Update Done..."

I was not able to start Lathe because the NetHasp wasn't found, However, I am able to start Mastercam (Mill L3 w/ solids).

 

It must be a Monday!!!

Thanks, Kathy

[cadcam]

SLJ I went back and tried my Cimco editor sense I don't use that and it came up fine.

 

I would uninstall the SP1 and reinstall.

 

Kathy, I heard you were going to a Nethasp.

But do not have any answers for this problem sorry.

 

I would try Jerry or CNC support.

Hope all is well?

[kathy]

Hi Jay,

 

Yes we've been running on the Nethasp for a couple of months now. So far, so good. Everything else is going okay. Still busy up here - and the wind is blowing and the sun in shinning! Beautiful out on the water.

 

I was hoping a network / nethasp guru would help me. In reading the instructions for installing SP1 for nethasp (what a concept), they talk about running 'Lmsetup.exe' to remove the current driver, and 'run it (assuming Nhs9sp1.exe) again to install the newest revison' Where would I find this file? It isn't currently on my system.

 

Kathy

[Glenn Bouman]

Jay, V9sp1.exe is a self-extracting file that contains all the updated files that are generated by the update patches. Extract this to the MCAM9 directory instead of using the patches. This saves having to do a fresh install that is required for the patches to work correctly.

 

SLJ, if you are having trouble with the editor you can install the full update install with this link. Updated Editor

 

Specify C:Mcam9CommonEditorsCedit during install.

[kathy]

Glen,

 

Is there a link for downloading the V9sp1.exe file that isn't ftp? It looks like I need that file to make the sp1 work correctly..

 

Will the Vpsp1.exe file also correct my problems with the Nhs9sp1.exe?

 

Thanks, Kathy

[Glenn Bouman]

Maybe Jay, can put V9SP1.EXE on a web link along with FTP.

 

It does not include the Nethasp files.

[cadcam]

Glen I will make a link for people to do as you said.

 

One link coming up!!!

[SLJ]

Thanks for the help

I had already downloaded the latest cimco editor from they're site. still did'nt work. Ended up un-installing and doing a clean install of MC and Cimco. Not sure what the difference is, but anything that works. Right?

By the way V9 sure makes surfacing easier. worth the trouble several times over. Now just got to talk the powers that be into Level 3

Kathy, I just installed the new Nethasp server and had to go through a few things to get it to work. You need to run the Lmsetup.exe and remove the license manager completely then re-install it.

 

After that it worked fine.

[kathy]

gstephens,

 

Thanks

 

I did find the lmsetup file, so now the netHasp seems to work fine. (I did ssay earlier that it was a Monday)

 

Now I just need to get SP1 working for th Mill & Lathe..

 

Kathy

[kathy]

Okay - we are all loaded up and working w/ sp1!

 

Just a side note: the Lathe9sp1.exe only updates the Lathe. I had to download and run Mill9sp1.exe to update Mill L3 w/ Solids.

 

Kathy

[cadcam]

Sorry folks drew a blank here is the link for downloading the full v9SP1.zip file by link.

 

Link: www.cnc-programming.net/v9sp1.zip

or

Link: Here is the direct link.

[Lucky]

I installed V9SP1.EXE and everything seems to be O.K. My APPS directory contains appmch9.dll dated 3/6/2002 and ctour9.dll dated 2/22/2002 from an earlier patch - is this O.K.?

 

Can anyone explain the file tp.cfg dated 3/25/2002 in my APPS directory? Is this file created/edited using appcfg.dll C-Hook?

[Allan Brown]

You can get rid of Appmch9.* and ctour9.dll from the Apps dir after patching up to V9 SP1. I do believe the code is intelligent enough however to not use old Apps updates if present.

Hey Scott, I'm waiting to hear if you got Version 9 Sp1 installed, and if you like it? I've been trying to keep an eye on the responses.

Dave

Gcode installed the service pack early Monday
