  1. You should be able to get a v9 post CD from your reseller. HTH
  2. Another free alternative. If that doesn't work you can email me (chuck at porterpunch dot com) a copy & I'll take a look in Illustrator, but it could just be a low resolution picture.
  3. Irfanview is a free download at download.com. HTH
  4. Ummmm I don't think you want to use css for a drill. It should be programmed as a straight rpm g97.
  5. Randy I believe ltlchg$ is the section you need to look at. That should be called when there is actual tool change. The ltlchg0 (null tool change) is called if the same tool is used with a diferent offset. For example I might use the same tool to finish two diferent diameters & set them up with T0101 & T0121 so the opereator has a separate adjustment for each dia. HTH
  6. If I understand what you're askin #1-#33 are local variables & change from sub to sub. #100-#149 are global, but loose their value when you shut down a machine. #500-#531 are global & can hold their value even when the machine is shout down. HTH
  7. I believe you should set your tooling up to use the lower turret to program x-. HTH
  8. The software has to support hyperthreading for one instance of an app to use multiple processors. So if you have 1 instance running you use 1 of the 4 available processors or 25%.
  9. quote: We are now including Cimco Edit 5 with our industrial seats Hello Todd, could you elaborate on what qualifies as an industrial seat? You guys are me reseller for MC & I haven't heard anything about that. Thanks
  10. http://www.superspeed.com/ He just had an etra e.
  11. I was able to open them in AutoDesks TrueView. It looks like diferent Paper space layouts. I didn't see anything in model space & when I tried bringing them into X2, I couldn't find any geometry (blanked or unblanked).
  12. If i remeber right there is a soft key labled something like EXT CHR while your in edit. I think that (EXT CHR) might be an option.
  13. I would try to "save as" to a diferent name from within the text editor. HTH
  14. I've been using Gadwins Print Screen for the last six months or so with no problem.
  15. Shouldn't the NCI path be pointing to a file with an .nci extemsion? I would check the nci name in the paths parameters.
  16. One of the jumps in the wiring circulates a signal. If that signal is not there you get your DR signal error when trying to receive. Output from the control does not check for this signal.
  17. quote: Could I: Use NetHASP to use MC9 OR MCX? Remote from home and use either? I think there is a min number of seats involved with nethasp. Also there is no reason you couldn't have 9 & X on the same PC.
  18. David quote: These files from the forums FTP site... Arc MultiEdit (X2).ZIP contains 3 files -> Arc MultiEdit.DLL Arc MultiEdit.TXT Arc MultiEdit.FT And Arc MultiEdit.ZIP contains the same 3 files, except that the DLL is complied for pre-X2 versions of X. From Roger post (up a couple) looks like its already done. Looks like Rogers already taken care of that. Its in the X2_Add_Ons folder ont the FTP.
  19. Just a guess Heavy but if you open an explorer window with the Multi edit file in them & go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View & make sure the "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked I would bet you'd see the .ft file. Your system may see an .ft file as a Paradox style sheet. Different programs may use the same extension for different purposes.I'm not sure that would cause any problems though, My PC "sees" my post files (.pst) as Office Outlook Data files. HTH
  20. Del I think when you do the mass import it doesn't create the bitmap (preview image). AFAIK the only way to the get bitmap is one at a time.
  21. On the drilling parameters page Check the "Clearance" check box & set your initial plane there. Make sure the "Use clearance only at start & end of operation" is unchecked. That should give a G98 in your drill cycle. HTH
