New X5 ?

[baba]

Any X5 version on the horizon ?

Well, I couldn't wait, Someone has to ask, right? I go way back to X3 and I'm so dang smart I need to know when I can get X5 Mastercam, (I like how X4 trims), It can't hurt to ask, because my money says it won't be that long !!

In X4 MU2 you can turn off the "trim preview".

 

MU2 is the most stable version I've run since X2 MR2 SP1...

I like his "I go way back to X3"!

IMHO, to go way back, you need to go back to a DOS version. LOL

Thread Hijack...

 

Since we're asking software release dates, does anyone know when Moldplus will be releasing their update to support MX4 MU2?

 

I want to install MX4 MU2, but I need Moldplus so I've been holding off on the install.

 

It sounds like if I wait much longer, I'll be installing MX5 never having used MX4 MU2.

 

Hijack completed :>)

Reko,

Moldplus works in MU2 with no updates from the MU1 update

and I go way back to version (3) also

[Reko]

Thanks Mayday. I'm installing MU2 right now.

 

BTW, are you far from Axsys in Wixom? I almost got a job in Wixom, assuming you are in Michigan, of course.

Moldplus guys.

 

The X4 MU1 had a known bug.

When doing mold separation it did not convert to

surfaces, it made a solid sheet which could be

converted to surfs, they were going to make a patch

but I havent seen it yet. It may be fixed in MP MU2.

I am installing X4 MU2 later today then the MP MU2.

I'll keep ya posted.

X4 MU2, with MP MU2 works perfectly and the

known bug is fixed.

Thanks for the heads-up on Moldplus.
