Hi Dear James, Thanks for the quote and your great help to solve the problem of one of the users of state of the art CAD/CAM Programming Software "MasterCAM". We use MasterCAM to produce molds for automotive industry and home appliances and we don't think it's related to intl terrorism at all . Do you? But be sure other members will help and with their expressed or implied help we can keep running that state of the art software . Again thanks for your quote,we appreciate your expriences in CAD/CAM and computer knowledge but please be more helpful . Moradim. MasterCAM User

Thanks bullines. But is it possible that the time patch correct the problem?

By the way , I went through registry and found that there is a key named: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECNC Software, Inc.Mastercam 8.18.1.1.0" does it help?

Yes , you are right . I could not upgrade it with those 4 patches (Design,Mill,Lathe,Wire) you mentioned before. Then may I have that patch MasterCAM sent to its dealers in order to uprade it to Final version? thanks for your patience

I don't exactly know but the exe files dated before 26 of Jan .Moreover I viewed the txt files , the updating ended to '# 1.1080pcr 01/05/01 put for Steve # $lge$ ' If this doesn't help , tell me what I can do to find if it's a time bomb. thanks

Dear Bullines, We upgraded v8 to v8.1 but it is not the final version of 8.1.

Dear Bullines, We bought v8 Final of MasterCAM and upgraded it to v8.1 via our reseller. But now it's not feasible for us to upgrade to v8.1 because of some problems in mailing system of country. Unfortunately the only way to upgrade is either going abroad to contact him , which we can't afford it right now, or download those files. We shall be very grateful if you can help us getting the upgrades. I can give you the password of my mailbox if it's of any use. thanks, M Moradi.

Is there an address or a place that we can dl the final v8.1 release. Mine was a candidate release.
