X7 MU2 ANYONE DO THE INSTALL AUTOMATICALLY ?

[CADCAM3D5AXIS]

I see X7 sees the update but i can not find it on the Mastercam website as of yet. Anyone do the install yet and have they had any issues to report ?

I like to save the files for Sanity reasons on the local drive in case of Puter Snafus so what gives???

[Guest]

You're still using X7???

 

Oh wait, never mind

[MIL-TFP-41]

just installed it. crossing fingers and looking for the "whats new" file

[crazy^millman]

John I think I am going back to V5 the best release ever.

 

Better yet I will go back to pencil and paper and do my 140 and 160 hour programs I could have got done in Mastercam in one hour just to show you.

Jeebus...I thought you said "X"5. Then I realized you said "V" 5...

Whoo...

 

I just did the auto install of Mu2.

Went off without a hitch.

John I was just wondering if the auto install per the update app had any install issues,Cuz i am in the middle of a job and I do not need any surprises/ issues to turn things into a issue.

Thanks

OH NO!! Version 7 was the best......................................at bending you over without lubrication.

Awwww com' on guys those old versions weren't that bad. I started on 5.5 on a windows 3.11 machine. Sending/Receiving programs was done through Quicklink which you had to be in DOS to run. Kids nowadays look at me funny when I mention DOS and the things you could do. They don't realize what us old farts had to deal with so they can have their "smart phones" with more processor, memory and such than the pc's we programmed on. If I remember correctly my programming pc at the time was either a 386 or 486 with I think a 500MB (yes megabyte) harddrive with maybe 4 or 8MB of ram.

 

V7 if I remember was the introduction of associating geometry with toolpaths wasn't it? Using 5.5 you could draw what you needed, create your toolpath then delete the geometry without "dirtying" operations, plus we had to draw our CDC lines (at least this was how I was instructed to do it). I remember it taking me a while to get used to that .

 

I honestly can't even remember where it showed you the tool path operations. Although I do remember Mill and Lathe were separate executables. I had V9 draft on my pc at home until I went to W7 which I used on occasion to draw up some home projects.

 

The good ol' days.

In the Operations manager?

In the Operations manager?

 

There was no Operation Manager back then. Not until V7.

[BBprecise]

Was there even an ops manager, I don't remember anything being on the screen? My memory's getting a little fuzzy on things from the mid 90's

[shredder]

Did the auto update and all is good:)

[FROZEN]

Up and running on MU2, no problems yet????

There was an NCI editor page. OH the horror!

Started with v3.1 under DOS. Now not many people know what DOS was.

[TK-32™]

If you know what cam386 is, you're pretty ancient...

More people here would know what DOS was than an Xbox is
