Re: Cadkey question

Hi Jon -

I am a Cadkey user from way back. I don't use the solids part of
Cadkey very much. Cadkey97 had many problems since it's the first
release of solids in Cadkey. If you have not updated your Cadkey97 to
97 v102 and v103 for solids I suggest you go to
http://www.cadkey.com/support/technotes/cadkey/index.asp and read
technote #1103, #1112, and #1116. Sometimes just doing a sequence of
things will cause a problem. I am using the newest version of Cadkey
and I guess they have the solids working pretty good now. Can you
send me the file to play with it. I could try some things and maybe I
can bring it back to life. It would be difficult to explain here all
the things I could try.
