chipmaker, I agree with your last thought. When I teach I have the student use the levels and put notes even if they are simple so they get used to doing it for there own info.

Well look at this way , you have a mold. I know you don't do mold work but this example makes sense ,I hope. Mold's have Hot halves and cold halves. the cold half can contain allot of geo from injector pins to return plates to cavity's or even cores. And so on for the Hot half. So you may take the first 100 levels and use those for the cold halves and the next 300 to 400 level e's for the Hot halves. mark the hot level sets as HOT and the same for the cold halves with Cold. Now when you want to work on the hot half you don't unselect 100 levels and turn on 100 more levels. this now can be handled by using the ON and OFF level sets as this has now made groups for you in the levels that can be handled easer.

As for a nethasp there is a certain criteria for having a nethasp you need to talk to your dealer. I am not sure what part of Cali you are in so I don't know if I can help you directly in my area or not. You will not be able to run this from a server on a single hasp. if you had a nethasp you could do the wireless and even off site i did this for disney. I also setup Haas Manufacturing to use wireless for allot of there laptops off there Nethasp. But as John stated and you know as I can tell by your posting that cracking or copying in any way of the hasp if forbidden. as for safety thoughts run a usb extension cable back in to the computer, allot of computers have ways of locking them from opening. if not make something that makes it hard to open the case. this will make it hard for someone to get the Hasp.

I agree Mike. Derrek is that your voice on the videos?

Ron, I agree.

Jon B, there is no helping you at this point and I really was just trying to keep the post going.for some decent thoughts form members.But you sir have created so much hatred you will never get past it here. So I am done. and I am closing this post.

You reference Camplete this not a Cad or Cam software but a tool for posting ,editing and machine collision checking. So I think you need to use another reference or just remove that thought of example and use the point you stated.

Hi all, I know I am going to get slammed for this. but I have removed the uneventful posts to see if we can get more of what the topic is about. it seems there are many members that are seeing a positive from this post. We know how a good few feel about this person. but know I am seeing other members loosing out on some of there thoughts. Lets try and put forth some good thoughts for updates or we can call them upgrades. Well lets try and see if this can go a little farther before we have to close the topic. hopefully we wont have to. So were do I get one of those flam suits from the movies?

Hardmill about 5 min from him.

wait I am selling popcorn for Scouts want to buy some?

quote: At some point, after teaching groups WCS for the 1,000th time I figured I could make a video and they would get it. So do you show allot of videos in your class while teaching?

Mold100, I remember are conversations a few years back when we use to talk more. Willing talk to you any time. jay

DegMC do you teach for the collage full time as your main Job? quote: Local colleges will pay an expert to teach a class, I agree they pay well and give me full rain. quote: however they will not pay an expert to develop teaching materials. They pay me Extra hours every new class for such time. it is only 10 hours but that is still extra for development.

Shawn, so you are saying for example, I am working on a project starting lets say Monday and I am programming every day and reopening the file every day, that I should have to reset the stock size to verify?

John did you get my email with the file? I hope you are enjoying retirement and we all thank you for the time you do help.

Here is a short video on this. Create line tangent
