Yeah! That's what I figured.... but WHY??? should I have to do that with such premium software. Anyway, thanks for your input.

ENJOY

I believe you are correct, I was just double checking. older than v7.....

Is there still no way to convert older files with X2?

Is there still no way to convert older files with X2?

Craig,

I loaded ramdisk to try out, set temp files to the ramdisk and do not notice any chnages. Did a side by side file regen with an identical computer. How are you set up to use ramdisk?

What toolpaths would be very helpfull.

Worked

Program and run most all of our own projects.

I too would be interested in the macro or excel program.

Thanks

Good here!

Thanks for all your responses, its been a great help.

Nothing in particular, just wanted to see what we were getting into. Seems I have a little reading to do.

Thanks for your response.

Anyone have a small sample program for the iTNC 530 that I can look at, to begin some post work on. We will be receiving a new machine soon and I would like to get a head start.

This has been a major headache for myslef as well. You can most always find "work arounds" but that is why we purchased this product, to run as they say it should not to find ways to work around their bugs.

In XP Pro right click on your windows tool bar and open up the task manager. Click on the processes tab' find mastercam.exe and right click on it, now click on set Affinity, you should see two green arrows for your cpu's, uncheck one and your now running one session on one cpu. Open a second session and find the second session in your task manager and uncheck the other arrow and you now have two sessions running on seperate processors. CRUNCH and RUN.

------------------------------------------------

Is anyone running a second session on the 2nd monitor while the first one crunches?

-------------------------------------------------

Yes John that is exactly how we do it.

I run dual processors and set each processor to one one session of MCam each. Works well. Also use dual monitors ( its a nice productivity tool ).

I guess every llittle bit helps........

By the way, if your on vacation why are you on here? Go enjoy your time off from WORK!

There is quite a list of crashes that happen. But the files/operations that don't release there previous data ( even when is not on the screen ) or the ops that change when exiting and returning to the same program. Those little things tend to BUG me. esp on large files.

Question! Not really a question, more of a statement. Just waiting for a few issues to be resolved.

I also have not read the hole thread, but YES those things are happening Altek, to me as well.

So, I just quite copying programs from other programs. I know that is not a fix and MC needs to address this issue.

That's great

nice, very nice....
