Post by Gerry Perrault »

hI
I have just purchased Aspire 3 and woul like to know if i have made a file on Aspire 2.5
saved my file and then opened it in Aspire 3. Why in Aspire 2.5 it takes 02:44:37
and in Aspire 3 it takes estimation time 03:12:22.
What am i doing wrong.Gerry

IF the scale factor is the same it may be worth checking the feed rates in case the tool databases don't match.

Most likely to be the scale factor though as it's easy to overlook when loading a new version.
