That's even a longer story. It's a laptop with bad problems. I had an extra hard drive and gave it to the repair people. They then proceded to use the old hard drive as a slave and took windows off of it. I really didn't think I would have auy luck getting the codes, but it was worth a try. Cadkey{Keycreator) has the codes on their website and you can get them any time you need them.
Yea but in the interium I upgraded from 8 to 9 (to get 10) and never upgraded my software installation (I just kept working in 8). Now the files I need to deal with are version 9.1 files and I'm screwed because I can't get the update codes from the emails on my dead computer.
I was loading Mastercam on my new computer for an emergency job and I can't find my update code. It's a long story as to why I can't get it off my old computer but I CAN'T! If there is anyone that knows how to get it on a Saturday (no reseller) please let me know.

I have the same problem, what makes it baffeling is that we're using Vericut (and Mastercam) on 2 different machines with the same software, both on network licenses. One works fine and the other crashes. I'm working the problem with Vericut as we speak, if I find out anything I'll let you know.
Here the thing, what I'm trying to do is take one part in the top half of a chick vise, rotate it 180 and put it in the bottom half of the vise and machine two parts at one time, I can't just move it down to the bottom half because of clearance issues. I'm not trying to move it to a different face of the tomb. It needs to be machined at 0.0,90.0,270,35 and -35 deg rotations. Hope this helps clear things up.
I think the problem lies in that I,m actually doing a double rotation (rotating around Z for the transform and then around Y on the machine) I don't know if Mastercam will do this. The tech guys have looked at it but I don't think they understood what I was trying to do because true they got rid of the errors but the numbers are still wrong.
Hi there,
I seem to be having a great deal of problems with trying to rotate operations for a horizontal part about the top view (Z world) 1 step 180 deg. First of all it didn't want to post saying only single axis movement was allowed. I then switched to rotate around origin instead of a point and at least then it would post but the numbers I'm getting aren't right at rotation. Mastercam seems to do OK until I hit a rotation and then I start getting minus Z values for clears and bad signs for either X or Y. Any suggesstions would be great.
