SprutCAM 7

[dkaustin]

Has anyone downloaded and installed the SprutCAM 7 update? Any reviews?

I've been playing with Sprutcam 7 (build 0.5 Rev 30392) for the past couple of days. I've run into a few bugs, but I think it's going to be a very nice upgrade. The cleaned-up user interface is very nice. I especially like the way job assignment and restricted zones work now.

Dave Pearson already has a couple of videos on his subscription support site ( http://www.download.sprut.co.uk/Support ) that demonstrate some of the new features. Highly recommended.

The bugs I've noticed so far have been easy to work around. For example, the Alibre key map doesn't work, and a project saved from a previous version appeared to load correctly but generated bad toolpaths. It worked fine when I imported the model into a new project.

...just a couple observations so far

-finally imports Inventor files (it did older versions not newer releases)!
-toolpath creation is faster!
-could not use version 5.53 (iges conversion was corupt only in this version) working again in this release.

-still can't change the default tool library from metric and have it save it - without renaming the file in the directory

Have not really put it through it's paces but it has promise.

Can someone provide me the link where I can download Sprutcam V7?

[MarkWink]

...it's right on their Home Page, you have to click the "Download center" link.

The text goes to Russian, you need a login/password or create a new one and then you can download the file. The blue text below the login/pass is a link to create a login.

The red asteries were; login-password-password confirm-City-and the obvious email

I found a translator on the web to navigate the site.

Is a manual included in the download? - Thanks Terry

Nope. At least, I haven't found one. Documentation isn't Sprut's strong point.

There is one file : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Dane aplikacji\Sprut Technology\SprutCAM\Version 7\Languages\SprutCAM_eng.pdf

Thanks! I missed that one.

It's located in this directory on my installation:
C:\ProgramData\Sprut Technology\SprutCAM\Version 7\Languages

(I meant to post this to this thread but while browsing through previous threads for an answer it got posted to a V5.5 thread but I am actually trying to install "V7")

Well I thought I did everything right... I extracted the setup file, created an install direcry and copied it into it in along with the _SCIinstPF0_HASP.exe and _SCInstPD1_PCNC.exe from the previous install. BUT........ When I run the program it wants to do an online registration anyway. Am I forgetting something else??????????????????

BTW - I uninstalled it and reinstalled it a couple of times.

That's the way it worked for me too. This release doesn't seem to support (or need) the hardware key.

How did you finally get it running? Did you do the online registration????
