Codebreaker, upgrade to a 64 bit os. Windows 32 won't utilize the dual quads and all of the quadros vid memory. You're wasting hardware.

Works fine and utilizes everything are two different things.

If you're using the it just works attitude, you're a mac.

[mayday]

even though mu1 is better I'll be glad to take mu2,3,4,5 or any fix for that matter

[Thee Rickster ™]

I have no issues now since a complete uninstall

reinstall.

 

But I will take an MU2 for all of the known bugs

acknowledged in MU1.

 

If you voted no ya must be off your rocker...

I went to you links and didn't find anything about how 32-bits does NOT utilizes dual quad cores ...

 

Did I miss something there?

Or they are not seeing the issues you are.

 

The question was asked IMHO "Is MU1 total $#!+ ???" I have to say, performance in my experience is better than X4 and everything prior. But since we all do different things in different ways, the question needed to be asked.

maybe not a full "MR" is due...but to fix some of the very annoying bugs would be nice. Stock to leave not sticking unless you hit the blue + sign, lead in/out not updating till you exit the parameter dialog and then re-enter...the little annoying pain in the xxxx things.

 

Sure we all got "workarounds"...but I hate that expression. I don't get to use "workarounds" when I mess up a part, and I hope that CNC Software works to those same standards....on their dime, not mine. Quit fixing bugs with Maintenance Releases (which is really the area of "increased functionality" that came with MR1)...oh wait...I forgot bout shading stock.

 

Bug fixes should be done on CNC Software's dime, not mine. I am all for increased functionality, but I am more for getting rid of these little "workarounds" that we all use. At least with the initial release of X, there were a few SP. I don't think we have seen a SP since X2MR2(2 generations ago...wow)...and don't tell me that is because there have been no bugs.

 

If they insist on tieing the bug fixes to the MR's, at least do it like they did with X1 MR1/SP2. If you had maintenance you got the new toys, and if you weren't you got a more stable system. [/rant]

[Code_Breaker]

After 24 hrs it is 2 to 1 to "destroy MU1 and upgrade to MU2"

 

[HINT]

Since twice as many people want to replace MU1 as keep it, I wonder if Mastercam will do domething ...

[/HINT]

[Thee Rickster ™]

No need to replace it, just fix it with bug fix updates or an MU2...MU3...MU4 what ever it takes

to get it stable and crash and error free.

[roccet]

im getting crashes as well.. just a quick boot right out of the program.. sucks! everything was fine until the update.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I wonder how many of those "yes" votes are Jon Banquer alises?

[gcode]

I think there are enough issues that a service

pack, free to all MU1 users, regardless of sim date, is in order..

yep
