    +1 on dumbing down the tolerance ( I change my drafting color to anything other then the current spline ) so when the spline changes color you got it. Super tough splines I break " many" like 100 places Now I have points to create my own arc the best I can Arc dynamic or.,,, WE HAVE SPOKEN !

    I get it at the beginning of every new session After my first had to draw it twice it behaves It didn't happen with 2017 or 2017 update 1

    A lot of us were told by our resellers etc ( at the time) get the Quadro nvidia card.
  12. Fred @ Slate Industries
    Also your view looks like it has edge curves but it doesn't, ( 2017) Mc shows you the definitive surface edge only You have to create an edge curve still to chain / boundary etc.

    Things that are visible but non pickable... Use repair file ( the renamed ram saver) Now the stuff that's not supposed to be on the screen will not show up Bug

    The easy button is about $28,000 a seat with $ 5,000. A year in maint. It can be done in Mc with some fudging around as others stated . You'll get good at it in no time we promise !

    To this day when I in trim a surface ( Not all of them and not all the time) but enough of the time It creates a random amount of duplicate surfaces. 93 , 61 , 160. Delete all duplicates won't work. It shows them though. SO I have to save EVERY SINGLE surface Mod edit So I can get back where I left off cleanly. I sent in Hard facts. Video etc. QC never gave me a bug # but said it would be forwarded To the Product owner. What this means is... It runs so deep in the build that it will be fixed in 2018. Save often !
  20. Fred @ Slate Industries
    You have to open the new maint. code Now you will see it as a text file with all the verbage in front of you. Finding it through the update window on your PC doesn't work until you open it 1st. Now locate / map too it through the update hasp manager etc. That's what I went through this time around.

    Cell phone carriers are ditching the "Free phone , Two year contract" it's all same phone bill + a lease for each phone on the bill. The work around is to buy your phone elsewhere and bring it in to have there Sim installed into it. (My carrier only let's you carry in a iPhone or a Samsung unit) Again , "Lease" you no longer own it again

    I just finished a week of Transform / Mirroring with 2017 24 cores 12 Left 12 Right ditto on the Cav's Mirror Knocked it out. (I of course verified the toolpath against it's solid model 1st) Awesome.
