Can you elaborate on these file size limitations? >>


John,

I don't recall the exact size but MK will not load files any larger than
about 40 or 50 K. It is not a PC memory issue as the machine in question has
many megs of memory. I have to cut the files apart and chain them together.
Not a trivial operation. It might be easier to generate 4 or 5 or however
many cutter paths for a complex part, post each one separately and simply run
them one after another. For a 2d part, 40 or 50 K represents a very complex
part, In 3D, it is not enough to make anything serious.

I did a few Rhino STL to G-code runs on Millwizard and had output files in
the multi megabytes. Can't even load em onto my floppies for transport to the
old MS-Dos machine doing the cutting! I will soon overcome that problem.
