Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 3DPRINTER SOFTWARE??

sounds interesting but I am not going to up grade my system to Vista or
higher just to use it for free.

We're Sorry. Tinkercad doesn't currently support your configuration.

*Tinkercad uses WebGL, a new standard for 3D on the Web.*

Your browser and operating system seems to be up to date, but there is a
problem running the 3D content. The most probable reason is that your
graphics drivers or computer is incompatible with WebGL.

*Please contact us* or consult the following browser specific trouble
shooting guides:

* Tinkercad Known Issues
<http://tinkercad.tenderapp.com/kb/known-issues>
* Google Chrome
<http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=4ed2cebe3379b1a2&hl=en>

* Mozilla Firefox
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers>
* WebGL troubleshooting <http://get.webgl.org/troubleshooting/>

Unfortunately your browser does not support WebGL. The following
browsers are known to work well with Tinkercad:

* Google Chrome 10 <http://www.google.com/chrome> or newer
* Mozilla Firefox 4 <http://www.getfirefox.net/> or newer

Unfortunately your operating system does not support WebGL. The
following operating systems are known to work well with Tinkercad:

* Microsoft Windows Vista <http://www.microsoft.com/windows/> or newer
* Apple OS X 10.6 <http://www.apple.com/macosx/> or newer

Unfortunately there is a regression in Chrome on OS X Lion (10.7). The
Chrome folks are aware of the problem and in the process of deploying a fix.

In the meantime we suggest that you use Mozilla Firefox 4
<http://www.getfirefox.net/> or newer.

Unfortunately your browser does not support WebGL. You can either
install Chrome Frame or try another browser.

Install Google Chrome Frame

The following browsers are known to work well with Tinkercad:

* Google Chrome 10 <http://www.google.com/chrome> or newer
* Mozilla Firefox 4 <http://www.getfirefox.net/> or newer

If you continue to have problems, please send us feedback.




It also appears that you store the design on line. I'll bet that there
is anuser agreement on line tat gives them rights to use any design
stored on their site.
