I thought red wings was something bikers got after........ never mind [ 06-05-2002, 12:10 PM: Message edited by: Greg McKay ]

sausage wanna bet I can smoke the PDG guy. With sausages current attitude, what would he do the first time he had a question? The people that I know that are good toolmakers and programmers never quit and rarely ask questions. If the president of Cnc Software tells me to do something I get it done (no whining). I have way to much false pride to ask anyone for help and it seems like people that call themselves toolmakers are the same way. Sausage talks tuff but if he was any good at all he would have at least tried to teach himself. Maybe if we get him mad enough he'll sober up and learn mastercam out of spite.

Leo, I would like to hear back from you about your impressions of UG. If you have time fire off a quick email when you are comfortable with UG.

My brother is a millright at a big shop in CT. He does a lot of board replacement on nc's. I'll email his number

how about enduser

I sent a message to the Dealers in New York to verify this customers(?) status. It is amazing how many times pirates are the ones who have the most unreasonable demands. He likes Bobcad because there aren't any features to learn

I talk to lots of users. I know I guy in nebraska who is woking about 70 hrs a week. A few CT shops have gone back to offering saturday overtime and my sense is that things are picking up on the east coast. Just had a trade show in Mass and attendance and leads were up from same show last year.

I got 2 calls last week from customers who were having problems with prining being slower in sp1. I have been unable to duplicate problem. Anyone out there notice a difference in speed when printing with sp1?

I got it to run but it is not supported Greg

Charlie, I have not seen this problem before. Are you changing the color by clicking on color in the secondary menu in mastercam? If not then how are you changing color

Mill6.exe was released May 24, 1997. The Quadro was released last quarter of 2000. possible conflict of open gl standard from 97 to 00. I would like to see how this card works in v9. Any one out there running a quadro card. I loaded v6 into 2 nt boxs with sp61 one an ati card and one a viper v770. The ati worked fine the viper locked up after a verify but worked ok on shade unshade op.

SORRY THAT'S NEWARK ELECTRONICS

YOU MIGHT TRY GRAINGER OR NEWAR ELECTRONICS FOR YOUR RELAY. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADAPT ANY 24VDC RELAY TO THE MACHINE ASSUMING IT HAS THE CORRECT NUMBER OF CONTACTS. BOTH OF THESE SUPPLY HOUSES HAVE WEB SIGHTS BUT I FIND IT LESS FRUSTRATING TO CALL AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU HAVE.

You seem to be doing all the right things to get this machine going. Have you check opengl.org on the web. This is a site with lots of information about opengl. Is there any one process that is slower than the rest. Try verify Greg

This may not apply. In winxp I have run into problems with mouse cursors. To fix this problem I go to programs, accessories, "Program Compatibility Wizard" This utility allows you to have xp emulate a different os. I change settings for Mastercamv9.exe to win2000.

Might be easier to enable canned cycles then modify pbore1 or pbore2 then second hole go through pbore1_2 or pbore2_2(in mpfanv9)

Go into the compatibility wizard in XP. Set Mastercam to run like a win2k app And while your at it go into explorer...folder options and turn off hide extension of known file types. Having this enabled may make it difficult to locate mc8 and mc7 files

Micheal, It's in the format statements for the post. It would be easier to have you email me your post. I will make the changes and send it back showing you what I changed

Came across my desk. I keep a log of all tech support calls. The words SL-20, SL-30 were in the log. Unfortunatly I do not have a copy of the posts. I'm sure your Canadian Dealer can help locate a post for a 20

Try cimquest in NJ. I saw a post for a sl-20, sl-30 I don't recall seeing a post for an sl-10. Greg

Heavy Metal lets see the file

yes

check parameter page trasition high speed

I was looking for a facing operation called "BOLD FACE". Do I get the idiot of the day award? An operation that is bold is showing the last operation done.
