Hej Björn, jag kör ett Quadro1500m i min laptop utan några somhelst problem, med full acceleration. Jag har testat både med HP.s originaldrivrutiner och med en av de senaste från Nvidia. Båda funkar ok. Gunnar

Update, I just recieved the email below. Let´s hope it works. Gunnar, Thank you again for supplying these crash reports. There is some good news with this one. I was finally able to duplicate the crash being caused by the 3DConnexion devices (including the SpacePilot) and I was able to fix it in X4 MU2. X4 MU2 was just released two days ago so you should be able to download it or get it from your reseller. Regards, Joe McCollough Systems Group Manager CNC Software, Inc.

Oh yes, I have sent in several crashreports to CNC. They tell me that it happens due to bad spacemouse drivers that do not get rid of what is stacked in memory. They also told me that MAYBE they could fix it till MU1, but it looks like it is not fixet even to MU2. Neither from CNC nor from 3Dx-ware. Last time it happened some days ago CNC suggested a newer driver from NVIDIA, but since I use a HP nw9440 (notebook) it is not that easy to switch driver, although I just did it. We will see if it helps... Gunnar

Camcrazy. Don´t use iges it´s an old way. Use parasolid instead. That is the native format of both SW, SolidEdge and Mastercam. Even if you don´t have solids in Mastercam it will work with parasolid. The file extension will be .X_T

Hej Henrik, ring och prata med Björn på AME i Gbg så hjalper han dig sakert. tel 031 411700 Halsningar Gunnar i Vaxjo

Thanks for that tip. I will try that later today. Hopefully it works here too. The downside of doing that is that I will have to do all the appearence stuff (RMB and so on, and all the MD) over again. I do not like the way you transit from one release to another. CNC should make the transition easier/better.

I use SE and have also the same problems as you stated. I open the SE-files in X2MR1 and save them, and reopen them in X3 until a fix is released.

If you do a SAT-file from MD2008 it will work. We do that until MC has updated the translator, and we have no problems whatsoever with that.

Are you sure the machine really is capable of threading the wire at an angle. Most machines thread the wire vertically and then incline the wire from the threadpoint to the actual contour. That is how I always do it and that works for sure.

There is some issues with the .inf file. You get some kind of message that says that the system does not recognize the file, or something like that. It is a couple of months since I last tried it, so I don´t recall exactly what it was. But I am pretty sure that someone here at the forum knew how to overcome the problem, but I did not try that at that time. Gunnar

I have used this laptop for 10 months now and it works great with MCX2 and SolidEdge. On the other hand I have not been able to load NVIDIA´s drivers on this machine, just HP´s own but latest. Sign up for new drivers on their website. I think there is a workaround though to load NVIDIA´s driver. Someone else can perhaps tell us how. Gunnar

No problem at all: dia=13mm(millimeter) and pitch 1,5mm

I have had an issue looking like this. For some reason the system tolerance was way too high. In my case the solution was: Settings, config, tolerances: the greyed out first row was reading way too many decimals. In metric it should read 0.00005. Furthermore I had to delete the config file to force MC to create a new one, otherwise the problem got back after a new start of MC. For some reason the changed value did not get saved.

No, you do not need the numeric keypad but you get a wider screen and you get NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M 256Mb. The other HP.s are shipped with ATI FireGL. For what that is worth. Here in Sweden that is about US$ 275. Gunnar

Keith, That was exactly what I wanted to know, but I will check Intel´s white papers too. Hymen, the separate keyboard was a good suggestion, that shall be considered carefully. Thanks for your replies. Gunnar

Keith, That is exactly what I am asking: does MC make use of both cores within the processor. Dell has an explanation on their homepage that make me think that one program uses one and another use the other. Nevertheless the main thing is that the pc really has the capacity to do the job, and that seems to be the fact. Thanks for your answer. Gunnar

Hello, Long time user of MC, since V3.21 long time daily visitor in this forum, silent but very interested, but now I have a question that have not been answered enough, although I have searched for it: I plan to buy a mobile workstation, for example HP9440, with Intel core duo 2600 @ 2,16 GHz and 2GB ram. To be used with MCX, Solid Edge and Inventor. Today I use a ShuttleX with P4 2,5GHz 512kB L2 and 1GB ram and nvidia GF6600. It has served me very well for 4 years but it is a very noisy xxxx. Since I work at home too I want at PC that is movable. Now the question: will the HP be noticeable faster and more silent. The 2MB L2 makes a big difference I understand but does MC make use of the dual core in the new CPU. After all, the new ones run at a lower speed than the older ones.. I would like a brief explanation from someone who KNOW, not believe or suppose. This is not a q of fancy figures but a PC that will do the job in a decent way, hopefully for a long time. And I am not stuck with HP, Dell Precision M90 is another one with similar specs... Thanks in advance Gunnar

Look in Configuration,Tolerances, System tolerance:The field is greyed out but sshould read 0.00005 if you are in mm mode and I guess 0.000005 if you are in inch mode. I have had that same problem and it was due to 0.0000000001. So to solve the problem change the tolerance. That worked for me. Gunnar
