It is a great pain trying to run Dolphin on two machines, I have messed up my licence several times trying to swap it between the office & shop computers...
if the machines are networked peer 2 peer and the "Master" machine is running Windows XPpro then you can use the Remote Desktop facility to run PartMaster on...
... Nigel, I use the dongle, but have never had the need to run Dolphin on my workshop PC. The most editing I ever have to do to my code is change the feedrate...
Thanks for the replies & suggestions. I would like a dongle, for piece of mind. If my PC HDD dies, my only 'proof of purchase' would be the license on the dead...
I am in the boat you describe. I had hellish problems getting my Partmaster version 7 installed and running and received excellant support from the Dolphin...
... My experience just now. A 1/2 second powerout caused all sorts of chaos, among which my Partmaster v8 is now in demo mode. An email requesting a ...

... It's one of those damned if you do damned if you don't questions. Whilst we think we are unique we aren't. Licenses or dongles have to cater for all users....
I sort of understand on the business side of things... and I guess if you're honest you tend to think most others with your interests are also. What with the...
From the guys & Girls at Dolphin, I have recieved nothing but the greatest support, backup, advise and customer service. I have recomended this company to...
... I'll back Nigel up on this and say that i find their support to be second to none. Where else can you get to talk to the guy who programs the code? Have...
Hope you don't mind me asking, What is the difference between a .ppr & a .ppx post? Thanks (& appologies for what I am sure will turn out to be a silly ...
... ppx is the compiled version the program actually uses. The ppr is basically a text file that you can edit with the post processor editor. ... Not at all. ...
... Can't answer the question about the language of the ppx file. The reason that you should submit ppr and ppx files is that some versions of Dolphin do not...
List Please excuse the intrusion Thanks archie =) =) =) John, Are you the person that made the gear hobb. My friend was talking about it and says he wants to...
Hi quiet here ! Tool rad offsets don't normally bother me as CAM just pumps out the toolpath with comp added, but, wanting to 'fudge' something, I couldn't...
Due to circumstances beyond my control, well almost, (I wrecked a hydraulic ram on my digger and waiting for its repair) I've been using PM a fair bit lately...
... This is down to whether your post processor can handle G41, G42 moves. Some supplied posts don't have the g41/g42 codes in them. Give Mike a shout if you...
Steve, John As a rule we tend to output the offset Tool path, in the past we also output G41/G42 as the norm. Some users would enter the Tool rad in the...
Steve Of course CRC only applies to Goround, the very nature of Area Clear precludes the offsetting of the toolpath. Regards Michael Dolphin Cad Cam Systems...

uh huh so go on then how do I mod the Post processor to always output a G41/42? I don't often use it - I leave tool rads set to zero but when the tool is a bit...

theres a post reference manual, give me a link then - I'll have a look at buthering it myself if its not in there already... Steve ... From: "Michael Milligan"...
There is no need for a link. The relevant file Dpost.chm is part of the PartMaster installation. To access it, start Dpost.exe and click on Help > Help Topics....
