GM, GT new release.
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2013 1:28 am
Hello Everyone,
The new version of GM is uploaded, for GM the only change is a fix for Helical gear outter radius
text. For GT, it now works as the new video's show. Note on install.. If you get an error "Cannot run due to incorrect
side by side configuration." your probably running 64 bit OS and dont have the VC runtime installed. Look to the
Gearotic folder and run vcredist_x64.exe. The 32 bit is now included, but 64 bit isnt run automatically as it generates
errors on 32 bit machines. ( I suspect 64 bit machines spit out an error for 32 bit redist installs. )
Ill fix that up but I need to write a program to do that as my installer is now very old. ( It worries about 16 and 32 bit
differences its so old. ).
Other than that the program should run fine. I really do advise watching the video as it contains some important differences to
the way GM runs. So as I go forward the idea is to one by one eliminate the items GM can do but GT cannot. As to priorities,
my thought is to next do escapements, then noncircular gears, then on from there. If you think a module is more important and
should be done first, please jump in and say so. I will allow you to import GM as of next version but only for people who read
the hidden way to do so. This is because GM projects may have to be fixed up by the user so I want them imported only by those
that understand the issues. Arguably the 4th axis modules shoudl be done next as their the only outout stage not yet done, Im opting
to let them slide till after escapements and non-circulars for technical reasons, but if you feel that 4th should be done next as
a matter of importance to your operations, then say so and If people feel that way I can do 4th next.
Have fun with it,
Art
