Microsoft Optical 3000 wireless. Can't stand the wire, but the wireless eats batteries.

Been using the FX3450 for 2.5 yrs without any video problems. I'd recommend it.

Nope, same situation here. 3 Machine R+D Shop. Advantages outweigh dis-advantages,...most of the time.

You mean you hold people accountable? Who wants that kind of job?

Getting busy, or replacement?

He did say "Please give me"

You should have said "Would you like a Post with that?"

No, It means all software should be free for the good of Mankind!

Top of page. CadCams FTP site.

Who "gave" you a copy of MCX? I'd say call your reseller for help.

Got that from your sig, just wondered what part of MA? Marlborough here.

MillMaster, Where you located?

SolidWorks 2007 here.

Have any pictures of the Hardinge Lathes?

He didn't ask for a post. He said he can't find one and asked if anyone had any suggestions.

That may be true now JP, but they didn't have one for a SMX last yr. I know I asked, and all they had was an old Prototrak post.

Your right Todd, that worked. Was wondering why that wouldn't stay on since update to MR2. thanks

Yes that stuff would help, but does all that stuff really matter when they are "serious"? Shouldn't that be enough?

I think mold100 said all right there.

In my opinion you can't beat the SW-MC combo.

Welcome to the Forum Ann.

I agree with Matt. The SolidWorks Direct has a tendancy to lose features in translation. I just bring them in as .sldprt files.

Topic: How Much Help Should I Expect from my Reseller?

I don't think you are going to get any free "modified" posts from your reseller. But Gcode is correct, there are free HAAS posts that work fine on 3 axis machines. I would think your reseller would know that.

I know it sounds like I am kissing a$$, but we are lucky up in MA. I have never had a problem getting any assistance needed from my reseller.

Does your reseller do Netviewer? This allows your reseller to take control of your PC and help with MC issues. This has been a life saver for us.

Maybe add your bank acct info so she can deposit your signing bonus.

No Company name , no website, no real info, first post.......Sounds a bit cm fudgey to me.

Good to hear your doing well!

Now, try to get to that 2 months of work that has piled up on your desk.

I updated to MR2 on Sat. and got that same error message. Called my reseller and had to reload machine definitions and posts for it to go away. Someting in the machine def to post paths got corrupted in update. Was very frustrating, but seems OK now.

Like Thad said, It doesn't make sense? Why would someone come to tour your company, that already uses MC-SW, and offer you pirated copies?
