New Release Version 4.90.02

Dan:

Thx. It should look as in the video I just released on Toolpaths.
A new version is imminent to make the program much more stable and to release
the new escapements module.

I down loaded the development release it looks ok but  I can't save a gear to dxf? Dan

[dansfoundry]

I just tried the same gear in GM and output to dxf and GM crashed. I have'nt used ether program in a long time and it is mad at me:>(  Dan

[dansfoundry]

Might have to do with the number of teeth being too high. I am needing a gear for a heliostat drive that is four foot dia. and about 245 teeth. I used the spur gear that popped up when I click circular in tools. Is there a limit in GT or is it computer horse power?  Thanks Dan

[ArtF]

Dan:

Computer memory would be the limitation Id think, GT has no set limitations, it will try to create whatever one dictates..

Hi Art,
I have somehow managed to lose the link to my licence (maybe i'm the missing link)  anyway when I download the latest update all goes well until I check the version or try to save, at which time it tells me that my version is unlicensed.  I can find the license.dat in my gearotic folder but the update can't seem too.

Hints?

John

John:

  Make sure the update installed to that folder.. run the .exe IN that folder and see if it says licensed. IF not,
the file may be named wrong. Some people have "hide file extentions" turned on, they see a file named license.dat, but in reality its named license.data.txt , so try
turning on the file extentions display. If that doesnt work, email Bob for a new license at support@gearotic.com , he'll fix you up.

BOBL thanks for that , I get that far with GT but can't save as dxf if you can get it to please send me the file as I need to make a gear yesterday:>)  Dan Keith

[dansfoundry]

BOBL, I forgot to mention upon opening GT I get this notice.  Dan

Hi:

  Hmm, that error usually indicates a video card driver thats old,..or a video card thats very old.
Does the program run after that error?

Art, yes it does and as I said I can generate the 250 tooth gear but can't get a dxf file.  Dan

[ArtF]

Dan:

  Hmph, generates fine foe me too. What module or dp did you need, Ill drop the dxf here for you. Did you ask Bob for a new license just in case yours is corrupted?

Art

[BobL]

Dan;

I also encountered a problem when I tried to export your dxf, what I got was only half the gear... Weird..  Maybe Art can shed some light of perhaps why that is?


Cheers

Dan;

I tried sending your license, however got an error from my mail server saying message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Reason: Illegal host/domain name found... Can you contact me offline so I can get this off to you..
