At long last the boss has tasked me with getting our seat of Esprit 2011 up and running on our shop computer... have it home for the weekend and got the software installed and registered.
I made a trial run at modeling a simple mill part and got toolpaths generated ( I've been working with the CAM Wizard tutorials),
but ran into a bit of a snag when I went to post the code for the part.
I was told by my boss that he had purchased post processors for each of our CNC machines. My question is, when you purchase Esprit, are the post processors that you pay for included on the installation CD, or are they installed seperately? The reason I ask is because when the prompt came up to select a post processor, the menu was empty, and when I opted to browse for them, the search came up empty. I used Windows Explorer to look through every subfolder in the DP Technology program file, and could not locate any file with the .asc or.pst file extension. Did I do something incorrectly during the installation, or is there something else going on?
Other than that, I'm really excited about getting this software going and look forward to getting up to speed with it.
Thanks,
John
