You are right but EVERY CAD system allows you to save work locally in a usable format. But many times machinists are anything but sophisticated computer users and they don't understand about backup and file formats and they allow themselves to be painted into a corner. Don't blame the paintbrush of lack of planning. But on the other hand without experience, you don't know that planning is needed. Every business needs contingency plans. What if you are force to switch CAD systems. What if a motor fails on a machine or there is a building fire? Even hobby users need to think a little about this. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
