We seem to have a problem bringing in complete solid works prts(2009-2010 student version). Some of the features come in and others don't. Although the features that are not there ARE in the solid history.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi All. Long time no post!

I'm having a problem changing work offsets. When I change from G54 to G55, the numbers in G54 change to whatever I changed G55 to as soon as I regenerate the operation.

Thanks All!!

Does anyone have one of these basic 3 axis VMC'S?

We have one at our school, but it's a boat anchor cuz we have no documentation on the diagnostics. So, I'm wondering if anyone has any info on them.

Thanks in advance!
