Thanks for the help everyone, I called in IHS, seems we didn't install the MR1 version of the software and now we are running full steam. I also had the rep do a breif show and share on it amd I must say I am impressed. Looks good. Keep up the good work, keep your stick on the ice and always remember to keep your "cutter" lubricated.............

I'm not sure what version, I asuming SP1, I have called IHS when the rep phones me back I am going to ask that somebody comes in to help us out. Thanks for the info.

Okay, say I draw a rectangle, and it is on Level 1, and I want to creat some dimensions on level 2. I click on the level box at the bottom and it says select entities, but I want to creat dimensions on Level 2, so when I go to create etc. I get an error, this is hard to explain really, I know I am not doing it right.

Yes so we have a problem creating levels, it appers that we can create a level select entities etc. But when we try to select another command we get an error as if the command is not completed. In V9 you could press the escape key to exait any functions but how do you do this in X?? Also when you try to exit, it tells me that the MC_EXITFUCTION is not responding and to contact the dealer. Any help??

Certification has alot to do with you paper work and paper trails. Everything is auditable. The way you store your material, type of documents on the shop floor, calibrated measuring equiptment and machinery, how you tie your shoes, etc. This reminds me, we have an audit at the end of this month....yikes.

If everything that was made to print actually fit and worked, then we would all be live like George Jetson. Doesn't he work in a Cog factory? as a Machinist!!!!! DUH DUH DUUUUUHH!!!!

Day saver Edit: Over worked & underpaid

I think that the Toolmakers need some defense here, maybe it just seems that all the Toolmakers are out working and the machinist are efin the dog on the internet. The difference is simple. A Tool maker has to be a compatant machinist in order to use a variety of equpitment to produce a Tool/fixture/die/part/etc. A Toolmaker can work as a Machinist. Machinists can't be and/or work as a Toolmaker, other wise they would be a Toolmaker. A general Machinist has the knowledge to produce any given part specific to the equiptment they are trained on. Machinists here push alot of buttons to make it look like they are working. Alot of CNC Operators consider themselves Machinists. This is Incorrect.
