I have partwizard version 3.000a. I can't recall ever seeing a green cross icon anywhere and I can't find it. I've never seen revisions on the shopbot website for partwizard before.

Ok. I'm making myself look dumber and dumber here, but what is vector doctor and where do I access it or download it?
Ok, thanks for the help guys. I did find one of the microscopic nano-loops on one of the corners, but I couldn't trim it. I ended up just redrawing it.
But I would like to know why that happens...
To identify self-intersections, group the vectors.
Ok, I know I am probably missing something really simple here, and it is such a simple part, but I can't figure out what the problem is. I am...
Ever since I updated the software on my prs alpha, I get strange random pauses during the job. Randomly, the sb will stop moving all together and pause for about 5-6 seconds after the spindle has...
Ok thanks for the help guys!! Going to try a few things out today.
I was wondering if there is a way to index to a specific reference point in space on the table. Basically I have some existing parts that I'd like to modify on the shopbot, if possible, instead of...
Ok. Thanks for the help. However, I'm still a bit confused. We have a PRSAlpha that was ordered Feb 14/07. It appears to me that we would have the older control board because it requires the usb to...
Ah. Ok. I have a 201 then. Thanks!!
Maybe this information should be on the control software page? Or maybe I'm just really really naive. Or maybe I missed it. :o
Hello. Just a quick question. How do I determine what control board version I have on my PRSalpha. I'm going to upgrade my control software and it says there are two versions for different control...
Awesome! Thanks for all the replies everyone. Unfortunately the onsrud drills would not work in this case as it was a special size and I needed to 2d toolpath it. It always seems to be a special...
Is there any type of bit or technique that prevents material from building up on a mill bit? I am basically drilling hundreds of 0.13" holes into HDPE and every 10-20 holes there is so much plastic...
Great thanks!!!!!
Is there anyway to start off a job from where it was canceled in the middle? I had to stop the machine to clear some material and went to resume and the spindle wouldn't re start no matter what I did...
Great! Thanks for the help.
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the whole "downcut" concept though. It just seems wrong. lol
Hello all.
I was wondering if I should be using the same feeds and speeds with a downcut bit as an upcut, or if a downcut bit is even appropriate for what I am doing.
I am cutting two sheets...
I have a file with hundreds of the same size hole. Only problem is, I need them all to be slightly larger. Is there a way to transform all of them at once, or do I have to transform each individual...
Holy smokes. That was fast. Thanks so much for the help. I'll see how she works.
I wanted to go for training but our govt company in its infinite wisdom, doesn't want to pay to train me. All they...
Ok. I hope it works. I had to zip it. The parts I am having trouble with are all of the grouped parts. I am trying to cut out, on the inside edge, all of the parts that are grouped so that the result...
However, they don't as far as I can tell. Please help. I am trying to do 2D profiling of some simple designs I have moved every single vector involved and there is nothing else there and nothing is...

sorry, trying to shrink the photo sizes.
Thanks for both of your replies.
I work in research designing housings for electronics primarily in 3d. I've attached a few photos of things we might consider building with 3d(4th axis). Can you...
It is a good program to use to start some 3D work in shopbot? I am planning on getting some training on some sort of 3d software. And toolpathing can be done in millwizard? Or should the CAM be done...
Awesome, thanks Frank. I figured there must be a simple way around these problems. And yes, I am using partwizard, I didn't even know about Partworks. Is it a better program?
