I finally beat James to the response on something

I would like to see some of the problems you are having with V9. Would it be possible to email me some more information about the problems?

How do I duplicat problems.

Rather than list everything I like about v9 I will just ask you to check out 3 functions.

new toolpath, surface, finish, project, blend.

The EA manager

New verify

V9 lathe also has many new features.

If anyone is interested I can email you a doc file.

"Whats new in v9.doc".

I would like to have people who like v9 to add to this thread.

We are always looking for input from users about how we can ehance our product. Please forward any ideas or problems to mastercam.

[email protected] or [email protected]

I get the same thing. I'll talk to the post guys and get back to you

I will email you the document "whats new in v9". This will give some indication of the advantages from v8 but it will not show the changes since v7.

Hey James..relax a little bit will ya.

You should be selling mastercam.

cameras a good idea. Brian usually has a camera but he is going to chicago. If anyone on the west coast has a digital camera bring it along.

I would like to have a picture along with everyones email address and forum alias

I guess nobody is coming to ndes.

You guys that like the new view manager what do you think of the new entity attribute manager?

I get a lot of calls about the veiw manager?

Im looking for feedback from users so that I can highlight some of the things in v9 when I am in chicago. I have gone through the software and read whats new in v9.

Entity attribute manager

Veiw manger

the ability to change some tool info without having to regen

the ability to load a file and not load the tpath info to save time

new ellipse polygon bound box

solids stuff

new project blend tpath

etc.........

Im want some real user feedback that will help me anwer the question.. I have 8 why should I get 9?

There is nothing more boring than a canned response from someone.

I don't want anyone to think Im a smoothie

Im more of an extra chunky.

I will be at ndes (chicago) in the mastercam booth if anyone wants to stop by. If enough people are interested we could have lunch. Let me know if anyone will be at ndes [email protected]. I will let everyoine at mastercam who is going to westec know about your get together maybe they can crash your party.

Post controls it. make sure you copy the post from the good sytem into your home pc

just switched to 2000 pro on a system that used to run nt4 sp6a.

2000pro has been excellent performance wise. No crashes in 1 month

Thanks for the input

Hey James, I had a 4 door 5 speed chevette diseal (diesal, disell?) It was battleship grey.

It got about 100 miles to the gallon and couldn't go up hill. But once you got it up to 40mph look out.

I had to buy a 340 duster just to detox myself form the experience of owning the car.

Greg

anyone out there using an elsa synergy3d on 98.

Im talking to a customer in England with cursor difficulty.

has already tried all easy fixes.

Just looking for someone with same card in same OS

Greg

Try mastercamedu.com

This is Greg in Tech Support@mastercam

I cannot dupilicate this problem?

Is it posible that this is related to the post you are ysing in lathe?

Try changing to mplfan and see what happens

If the problem persists I suggest sending an email to [email protected].

Be sure to explain problem and include all files needed to duplicate problem

I used a 450 running 2000 to check v8.11 lathe

Technical Support at Mastrecam has had the same problem.

If the card has a nvidia chip try new detonator three drivers

Greg

James,

I talked to Ray C. and he says that it is hardcoded into the mill*.exe file.

Hows everything going in your new location?

Greg

Please forward problem file to [email protected] along with a description of problem

Thanks,

Greg

Check post for maxseq if its not there or you are still having problems with formatting

email thje post to me.

Nick,

Lets take this offline zip your psdt and mc8 and email them to me

Greg

Charlie,

I am going to guess that the message you are getting is mp.dll not found. The problem is that the system is looking for mpparam.dll in the main v8 directory. If you cannot find the file I can email it to you.

Greg

yes

I have forwarded your question to R. taft in the post department

All,

Greg from CNC wishing you all happy holidays. And I hope everyone has a good new year.

I have seen alot of great ideas reading these posting and am very impressed with the answers I see here.

8.1 is coming I swear.

James, Dave, and Andrea seem to be all over this thing.

Thanks for helping out Tech support everyone

Greg

It has been reported as a bug. I am told it will not be changed for v8.1. I am confident you can find a work around to this problem.

If not [email protected] has a work around

shaun,

not really enough information here to tell.

but if you are using version 8 you can try to enablre the filer function.

this will create arcs through linear moves based on tolerance.

send me the file I can probasably give you some ideas for producing a better finish

[email protected]

yes,

use the chook thelix for the spring pitch create an arc tangent to the helix

create a swept surface using the arc and the helix

I'll email you a simple one

Greg

8.1 will be a free upgrade for customers who have version 8. Due to the size of the new files for converters (parasld)and other things I don't think we can make it a patch

It will be available as a CD

check the forum I wll let you know when it is available

Greg
