Release update

[John T]

Hi Art,
Seems like I'm the only one having an issue with the win32 error.  Any hints on where I can go to get a solution?  I'm still running Windows XP

John;

Is this Win32 error generated with your Gearotic install or Auggie, or both? I experienced some issues earlier on too using Auggie with WinXP, had to upgrade in the end to a newer version of Windows to resolve these effectively. Art mentioned at the time, compatibility issues between Windows platforms was to blame. Anyhow latest upgrade worked fine for me using Win10.

Cheers
Bob

John:

  Ill rework the compiler to try to make it more XP applicable, it looks like the XP compatibility switch
may have been off for the last release. Ill be releasing a newer version shortly with a few fixes in it,
Ill let you know when its up, probably a few days.

Thanks Art,
The Gearotic part works fine its just the Vexx that is unhappy with me

John:

  I have seen that happen when I neglect the XP compiler switches, so hopefully thats all it is.
If so the next release should work for you. I no longer run XP here so its hard to say. Ill try to get a
release out this week.

I am a bit confused (this happens easily to me). I recently purchased Gearotic, at least partly based on the tutorial about escapements. I have noticed that this feature is not included in the version I got. Also, I have looked at a number of training videos, which do not seem to match the interface I am working with. Finally, I do not seem to have access to any of the output formats I can use (dxf, eps, even printing). I am sure I am missing something fairly fundemental, but my ADD nature is probably steering me away fomr what I need to be doing.  Any help (pointers, links, etc.) would be appreciated. I am running Windows 10 Professional X64 if that has any bearing.

Hi Pauld,
From the project screen you should see where you can select escapements at the bottom of the "tools" pallet.  Once added to there project you can select what output you want from there.

I'm not the technical expert for this site but this should be straight forward if your using the development version

Hi Pauld:

  Did you find the escapement from the previous message?
Output formats apply when you have a gear or escapement on the screen,
you can then press the DXF, STL buttons to export.

Let me know if your still having trouble, we can guide you through any issues
you may have with an offlist email run..

Thx
Art
