Post processor not working....

Post by donniem70 »

I had to switch everything to a new computer. I installed the latest stable version on Sheetcam. Transferred the licenses, tools and posts
When I try to run the post processor I get nothing. If I try to run the simulation it says no feed rate was entered and does nothing.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still does the same thing.
Not sure what to do next. Any suggestions?

Since you have been a member here for some time I'm sure you have done that many times before. You may have left out one for the planning steps, the feed rate is part of the tool menu. All the post processors are loaded with the new version load. Are you sure the license install went well, I don't remember what happens if you don't have a license installed.

The tools transfered, and the feed rates display when viewing the tool settings.
The license appears to have transferred fine. It shows the license information just as it did on the old system.
I am running the same type computer system as before also. Windows 7 on a 32bit system. Had to replace the old computer due to a motherboard issue.
I believe that with no license it will only run a limited number lines of code. It should process something.

It could be a license issue. In SheetCam go to Help->about and copy the license ID. If you send it to me in a PM or email I'll check it for you.

Do a clean install of the License did the trick. Thank you Les for the help.
