v22 cannot verctor text after placing on arc

[rjaym]

Using the infamous bug ridden v22. This is build 861 ver 22.023 I can easily vector text (windows font) if it is straight line . But once I move it to an arc the vector function does not work. This is a .bbcd file. please help -thanks russ

You would use the "explode" command, from the utilities menu.

By the way, you should download and run the build 1137. This is not the "Imfamous bug ridden" version!

Thanks for that Burrman - That would probably work - I would love to try it, I went to the bobcad forum /support page -signed up etc. then went to the download update page.... Located the v22 update (it doesn't say specifically it is the 1137 build but is supposedly the latest. I downloaded it (150mb) then when I tried to load the update I get an error "not enough storage" install failed. I was able to continue but now the program will not run at all! I posted my problem on the bobcad forum have got a a reply as yet. I know Soren lurks around here so maybe he can help. Or ANYBODY! I am running this on windows 7 my pc has 3.12 GB of available ram. Predator IS NOT installed - no need for it here. So far I have a sense of humor about it all... Hopefully it is a fail on my part and once again some one can hold my hand - thanks rjm

What are the exact issues that you are having within BobCAD? Is the software just not opening or is it functioning improperly? Are you receiving any error codes?

I cannot open the program at all now (since downloading and trying to install the update from the update page on bobcad support site)-see my post about update. hope you can enlighten me! rjm

The issue with the software being unable to be opened is in regards to corrputed files. When you updated V22, you went to a much newer tool menu. In order to correct this, please follow the instructions below.

Instructions:
1. Open My Computer (Computer on Windows 7/Vista)
2. Open C-Drive (or other drive if BobCAD is saved somewhere else)
3. Open Program Files (Program Files x86 for 64 bit computer)
4. Open BobCAD-CAM
5. Open BobCAD-CAM V22
6. Open Milling Technologies
7. Clean out the files in the subfolders (EXCLUDING TAPS!)
8. Open BobCAD-CAM

If these steps don't work, you can contact me by calling Technical Support and asking for Sean D.

Did you uninstall BobCad then install the update? or did you run the update against your install?
