Getting a "range check error" message on program files that have run in the past.

Any Ideas?

Do you mean CNC programs or 3D STL models ?

What software do you mean (QuickCAM 3D v3 / v1 / Pro VRMilling ?)
What file are you loading ?
When does the error appear ?

QuickCam V1
I think the student tried to use an image file.
The "range check error" came up just before the Calculating screen.

Ok - its an old problem we had on certain computers when re-sampling the bitmap image before machining.

It has been resolved now in the latest versions of QuickCAM v3, and Pro - the image is resampled diffferently, and you have the choice of low, medium and high resolution.
