Thanks guys. They were surprised to see all this comments so fast.

Long time no see, but i'm here again. Started to teach the new generation.

Hardmill, gcode, Jay, what happened to you counter since i left???

I remember you guys kids, with 100 posts. look what you did.

Great to see you're all still around.

Have a great week.

I am just showing them the forum. I explained them how important it is to find answers for any problem they have.

Please reply so they can see it's really working.

Have a great weekend guys.

Hi, :-)

I need to install mastercam v9.1 but i couldn't find where to download it.

Does anyone has a link?

Thanks,

Anyone???

wow...

thaks for all the replies.

I will never force my programers to update to X2.

But i really hope they will.some day.

We are still running v9.1

We know we should update but when it comes to decide, i prefer my the convenience of working in a version that we already know very good and we work fast and efficient, instead of start learning a new version, and because of that - work slower for some time.

Our programers very busy and it's never a good time to update...

Any magical solution?

Any of you are planning to visit Israel soon?

It could be nice having a dinner with some faces behind this forum

JMC

Hebrew?????

how come?

I live in the north of Israel and the last few weeks were crazy for us

anyway, the war is over for now and i hope i will spend my time learning my new 5 axis machine and not patrolling on the border with syria and lebanon.

I was released from duty tonight (will go back at sunday to celebrate with my friends.

I am happy to be back home and can't wait to see my new Hass 5 axis machine.

I will upload some photos tomorrow.

i think i was the first one in Israel that updated to X.

But after woking with it for a week of two i went back to 9.

should i go to X now?

does it really better then 9 now??

oops...just noticed that Alex already talked about it

Just bought my first 5 axis machine-Haas VM-3TR

does MC has a good post for this machine?

Winnie,

where did you go.

We don't see you a lot like we used to.

I'm sure your boss will let you pop in for few min few times a day to give us some new tricks and information.

If your boss is doing hard time for you give me a call...i will kick his a@*#

i can buy 3 seats of solidcan and 3 seats of cimatron with the price of 1 mastercam.

don't compare mc to catia.

I have 2 seats of mastercam and i need another one but 3 seats with maintanence for this 3 seats become a lot of money.i feel that somtimes CNC forget that Israel IS NOT U.S.A!

what did i really get from MC inthe last 2 years??

ok, i had few releses of service packs and i waited more then 2 years for X (2 years for a really bad and slow version of mastercam,but we discussed it before).

Don't take me wrong.Mastercam is a part of my life.i work with it 12-14 hours a day and i teach it too, but the price is just to much!

my local dealer is a very close friend and in the last 3 years he is my guide and he teached me a lot about programing and post and technology.but we're going to talk.i am not sure i will be able to keep my maintanence!

gcode, if i understand you right, it means that if i buy now without multi axis it will cost less then the price i paid for v9?

so, now multi axis costs more money+the maintanance i pay every year+the price of the software (twice then every other software there is in the market). it means that if i need solid+level 3+multi axis+maintanence every year i can't afford it.

You wont belive how much pressure i get from the

competitors.

MC changed our factory.

since we have it we are able to do better and more complicated parts.i love MC and i can't think about other software.but...

THERE IS A LIMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will be happy to learn some more of your tricks.

it could be nice if i coul'd have few new tricks even during the day

What about a little software that will convert jobs that i already did at X back to 9?

The training i need is how to uninstall this S@*T version!!!!!

It was really hard for me to admit to myself that 9 is just more practical for now.

I said to myself that i'm the problem and that i have to get used to this version.but the thing is i got used to it.and still 9 is better.

i'm talking about the small things that makes my life hard with X.

After almost 3 month working 100% with X, i decided to go back to 9 for now.

The user interface has still a lot of problems and i think it takes more time to program at X then at 9.

i gave X its time.at the last 3 monthes i gave it a chance, i worked only with X and i got used to it, and it has some cool options.but i still think the 9 is faster.

Will wait for the maintanence to come.

Pete,

I will email to qc.

it became like this messages you have when you install a demo version : "you now have 5 day to register..."

and you get this message 50 times a day!

A cup of tea wont calm me down!!!!!

I am tired of the message : "The magenta toolpath is only a simulation of the control's path..."

i can't see this message anymore. all day i program with mastercam and i am really tired of getting this fu*#%n message!!!!!

How do i get rid of it???????

after 10 hours infront of the computer i can't see this message!

I spoke with Iskander and i still wait for his answer, he has some personal problems but i hope we will work together one day.

anyone else?
