I am New to Sheetcam TNG. I managed to create my first job and cut it over the past weekend (Impressed with ease of use). I wanted to adjust some of the pockets sizes which I did in my CAD Package. Imported into Sheetcam as before and added a Drill Layer. All toolpaths fine until I started to add tabs. The computer freezes and has to be reset (Reset Button) to regain control of the computer(1). I Have tried this with nothing running in the background in case it is a conflict with one of the other open programs - same result. I have uninstalled the sheetcam package and reinstalled 2.0.5 reloaded Licence aswell.
Have Checked for newer graphics driver and installed - same result.
I Tried installing the sheetcam package on an older computer(2). I CAN edit tabs on the older computer although when I run the post processor (Mach 3), the tabs are not created in the toolpaths.
When I Copy the job back to the original computer(1), provided I dont try edit tabs, toolpaths generate but also without tabs in the toolpaths.
I am sure it is merely a simple setting that I have wrong but I cannot seem to figure out what it is. Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
