Need Help!- Post Processor/Windows7.

[neilthib]

I just installed Dolphin Cad/Cam on my laptop using windows 7. I have a problem when I go to post process I have no list of post processors. It is blank. Dose anyone know what can cause this?

You need to go to the Post Processor download area of their website and get the one you need.

The problem is the installer isn't set up for W7 yet.
i had this problem months ago.
I had to manually make a new directory for the application data [ post processor files ] and them copy all the files I needed from another computer into this file.

The problem is the files for the post processors are called different names in XP and W7, this is why they are missing.

What is needed is a correct W7 installer.

How do I go about making a new directory for the application data?

I got the post processors to show up on the list. My new problem is I am unable to get the Fadal cnc 88 P/P to show up on the list. I followed the instructions on the web sight but it dose not work.

The current version of PartMaster - Vs10, doesn't install all the files required under Win7 - Vs11 will.

For the time being you can follow the instructions in the attached Word doc.

Andre, Can you tell us what is in V11 and when it's due to roll out ?

Andre,
I have installed Windows7 running through parallels on my iMac. I have gone through all the steps you have outlined above. The patch has been extracted into the ProgramData on the C drive. The post processors still do not appear when I go to post process. Any idea what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks...Ron

Hello,

I have not installed PartMaster under the Parallels - Win7 option of the MAC but I know customers who are running it succesfully with the WinXP partition.

I don't know if this is the cause of the problem.

Can you navigate to the folder C:\ProgramData\PartMaster\PostProcessors using Windowd Explorer ?

If so, you should see the files there. If you can't see any files with .ppr or .ppx extensions then they haven't been copied correctly.

Also in CAM check the following.

View > Preferences > Folders - make sure the folders for post-processors is correct.

When post-processing go to the Advanced option and ensure that the option to search for the post-processor in a local folder is unchecked.

When you post process are there any entries in the drop down box ?

Hope this helps.
