The celebration was a short one. This morning on the first carve, the machine stopped again. "Flash un-readable (6) Please reformat flash and load project again". It had gotten to about 10% when it crashed, just far enough to mess up another piece of wood.
Since then I haven't been able to upload to any of my three cards. Same thing, they stall out in the high 70% range, then the upload crashes by 85%. And that's with not having a project open and making sure my firmware reads good before the upload. What I thought I learned yesterday was just a fluke.
Can I delete my designer pro 3 software and re-install it without causing problems with licencing & registration?
Yes you can delete and reinstall without loosing your settings.
You mentioned earlier about finding some bent pins, could that still be your issue?
You can recover a stopped carving by modifying your design. Draw a rectangle to cover about 95% of what had been carved. Make the rectangle a carve region and then set the depth of the region at zero 0. This will hide that portion of your design. Upload it to the card. At the machine once it starts to carve it will pause and dance around for a short while and then continue the carving process. Yes only works for carves that do not have vectors/centerline withing the area that will be hidden. You might need to fool the board sensor if the area that has been carved will be under the board sensor for the board measurement steps. You can either place masking tape across the width of the board and have it under the board sensor for measuring.

I got the pins on the reader fixed, that's not it anymore. I'm thinking the problem I'm having is too inconsistent and illogical to be a hardware issue. It's got to be software generated.
When I got the CV, I installed the basic "project designer" software first, before adding "Designer Pro 3". Should I have deleted project designer first before upgrading?
I'm going to try blowing them both away and starting over.
I bought the scanning probe too, but I'm afraid to take it out of the box.
I run both versions on my lap top and no issues. I did find out that the last version installed is the default version when you try to open an existing project file.
I do not recall if this has been mentioned to you but,, if you have not, increase the rendering cache size up to about 256MB and turn off the file preview feature. Rendering cache is in the preference settings and file preview in the help tab.
It is often suggested that if issues can not be resolved to try the uninstall and re installation of the software.

I just did the rendering cash and turned off file preview. We'll see if that helps.
Thank you
I got nowhere with it today at all. Deleted both programs, re-loaded Pro 3, it didn't help anything. Uploads get to 71%, stall out for about a minute, then suddenly jump to 74%, uploads crash as they hit 80%. All 3 flash cards do the same thing. I'm formatting and loading new firmware every time.
I loaded the program onto our laptop, and tried an upload. Exactly the same outcome. Stalls at 71%, crash & burn at 80%.
However I did notice an interesting message or two that I didn't see come up on my PC.
And on my licence page, the designer pro software I bought is showing as an "upgrade" version.
Does this have anything to do with my problem?
Where did you buy your machine and Designer PRO version?
