Assembleon also has another much less sophisticated programming utility (Cad2Cad) that at one time was a free of charge downloadable thing. I got it from the broker I bought our used machine from. I get that you are new with this equipment, but is t

I got mine from my used equipment broker, and it was version 1.5. I would try wherever you get your spares from. My recollection is that the "free" versions (1.5 and older) are not available through Assembleon anymore and that the current version

I also am having difficulty generating appropriate text input for our recently acquired Topaz. Previous owner used a big (expensive) piece of Enterprise s/w to get the job done. Where can I get CAD2CAD. Looking on the web yields a lot of viewers and

I use a Philips topaz, Have been running them for 6 1/2 years and have had great luck with them and assembleon is about as good as it gets when it comes to tech support. I am not a vendor just a machine operator. I am familiar with the quad 4c and th
