G-Zero for Windows 98

[Perfect Circle]

I bought a used computer at a garage sell and it has the windows 98 version of G-Zero.
Not a problem using it except I have no clue as to how you import cad drawings.
Any Ideas?
Thanks for any and all replies.

it's primarily a conversational type cam system and programming from a cad-file is not its strong suit. I don't think the earliest versions have capabilities of importing a cad file. You can use dxf files to for tool paths but it needs to be scaled and good clean geometry. You should be able to go to Tools > Cad to open a .dxf file. If it's an early version...you may not have that option.

unless they have changed your copy will fault out and need acode to reactivate it from g-zero. Usually yearly or ever 2 years this protects the liscensed owner in case it is stolen. Not sure if there is pirated copies running around

Does anyone have any idea where I can get this program now? The download link for the Lathe version on their site seems to be dead.

I downloaded the student version a few minutes ago and it seems to work. You'll need to pay for the full version to get code out of it.

Thanks, I must have been on their old site.

How about some modern modifications of g-zero for the current OS?
Need it or something close by its functions.
Would be very grateful for the answer!
