Was wondering if any of you could lend me a helping hand?
I'm going back to management to try to get my SMA approval to upgrade from my 3.6 to a newer version.
My questions are as follows:
1) From what I have been reading here, it sounds like version 3.7 mr3 would be the logical and safest upgrade since 4.0 is still fresh. In your opinion, would I be correct with that statement?
2) If any of you have used ver 3.6, do you know of any bugs that might give reading errors? I'm hoping to use this as justification, and please, I no the version sucked, but I need hard facts to back up my request. I know I can go back to 3.5 but would prefer to move forward. One of the bugs I have found is that using a 3.5 prg in 3.6 tends to mess up that alignment matrix thing so I'm sure it will do it back the other way.
Some bugs that I know of, not calculation errors, just things I have to use work arounds on:
- Alignments from 3.5 to 3.6 get messed up.
- Auto lines do not work, works when programming, but close the program and re-open it and vectors go crazy (found that out the hard way).
- Clearance planes when changing from one work plane to another does'nt work right, I have to use move points, take measurement before it knows the correct cleance plane.
These are just a few that I can recall from the top of my head.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can provide me with any information
