Error in wrapped job setup

Post by mwhatch »

I just reinstalled the latest versio of Aspire (3.504) after a refomat, now, when I do a wrapped job setup, I get wrong results. For example, I put in 2.2 for lenght and .5 for diameter. My job size says 2.2X3.1416. The height is twice what it should be. My shop computer that does not have the latest release is ok. Is there a fix for this?

Verify your gadget files are in the proper place:
go to File/Open Application Data Folder
Open Gadgets
Open Wrapping
Open Wrapped Job Setup

When in doubt try reinstalling.

If that fails send a note to support@vectric.com

Hi Morton,

Are you sure you haven't got 'Spiral Wrap' set as the option for 'Wrapping Layout' as this will give the result you are seeing for a single revolution (which would be correct for a spiral wrap).

Thanks, 'spiral wrap' was selected. I did not notice because I have never needed to use that featue, but that took care of my problem.
