Try this ftp server to send your files via a network connection with Windows 7. It was free and did the trick sending files by FTP over our network http://www.xlightftpd.com/

Many thanks for the info gcode and marting. I will try at work tomorrow.

When I import a parasolid file from Unigraphics, and I check the scereen statistics it only shows the lines arcs and splines. I checked the import option button and solid and edge curves is checked. It does not show the solid until I save the file and re-open it. Any ideas why would be appreciated.

The CRT on my Dynapath was a Cinton CRT made in Korea. I hard wired a Magnavox mono CRT from my first Tandy1000 computer while the Dynapath's CRT was being repaired. I Duct taped it to the top of the cabinet and kept on making chips. Just wire in the video lead. No sound needed. Ron

Ron, Are you are talking about the crt on the machine. I had a Compumill with a Dynapath 20 control that lost the crt a few times. $1500 a pop for a new one. I brought it to my local TV repair shop. Fixed it for $35. The control vibrating over the years broke the leads on tall components on the board. ( coils,capacitors,etc.) Ron

Buckethead, If you have generated your operation could you not just lock that operation to keep it from regenerating. Highlight the operation, right click and lock. Just wondering. Ron

Pip, We program a DMU125P. The clearance for the head in horizontal is 6." min. from the table. Made for some fixturing on a riser. Ron

gcode, I am using version 8.1.1. This seat has not been upgraded to version 9. I will check paths. Yesterday I lost a file. I did a search and found parameter files and one mc8 file in temp with zero bytes. It was all programmed and I am sure I saved it. Then the fiber optic cable went out so I lost all lan for a while. Just a bad day. thanks, ron roderick

Sometimes when I change to a different post while posting mc kicks me right out to the desktop. I really hate myself for not backing up my file just before posting or verifying. I Have not found the cause yet. ron roderick

I combine views when UG parasolid files are brought in. Entities will not chain properly when doing 2d swept toolpaths. The problem is usually solved doing this. Ron Roderick

Thank you Dave. Will try first thing after going to work in the AM. Ron Roderick

One of our mc seats was up-graded to version 9.1. When we tried to post a program we received a message to recompile m_*.h files to link to m_*.obj files. Can someone give me a clue as to how to do this. We had no problems before in version 9. Thanks, Ron Roderick

I bought my first cnc mill from Compumachine in 1986. It was a Compumill 2500. I went there to their shop for a demo of the conversational control. It had a Delta 10 control with an add on for Cavity milling that I used to make a tapered slot for a nailing gun head. I had the machine for five years. The machine had two other owners after me. All programming was done done by manual entry. Finally bought a Tandy 1000 to load and download programs. I had used a GE tape recorder before that. I still have some of those tapes. Learned the hard way. Ron Roderick Past Small Shop Owner
