Hi Art,
I see Vexx has a golden spiral generator. I need an Archimedes Spiral for a cam in a project. Is that on the horizon?
While I am here I was looking at cam design in general with constant speed, constant acceleration et al. So far I have not found any information on generating them on the net ...

That works and now I have gearotic running. I had msi and iso mixed up in my head. No use having a CD image I thought.

The smoke got out of my notebook so I replaced it. The old one was reasonably up to date but I don't know which version I was running. I tried to down load Gearotic again and Microsoft defender throws a hissy fit about a trojan and deletes the file. I found a backup of an old file, Gearotic throws a ...

Yes that is what happens, plus what I see is only the front layer. When I add the stl it is still only front, not a solid.
I had tried it on 3 computers and got the same result.
I did see the message generating normals comes up after the photos are taken before I call them.
My Wife and I are in our ...

I went through my notebook collection which includes a gen 1 I7 windows 7, a gen 7 I7 windows 10, an atom windows xp and a I5 windows 10.
I deleted all the gearotic installations and reinstalled 3.02.
When I use the photography I get the same result, no model appears on the project screen ...

I fire and get the 4 photos.
Then generate the normals.
The banner generating normals does not go away until I put the mouse on the photo screen.
Then I press the generate 3d button. The progess bar moves across and the image appears.
The image handle does not appear on the project tree.
I have ...

I am still having no success with the photometry. I have reinstalled ver 3.012, restarted the computer (I7 windows 10).
When I create a model I cannot get it to appear in the project. If I set output to STL the model disappears. This also disappears if I go to projects and does not reappear if I go ...

I have searched for an up to date help file for stereophotometry version 3.02. The tutorial I found on Youtube is from last year and does not look any thing like my version.
So far I have managed to make two medallions and none since. I think I have misremembered what I did however I have not been ...

Is it possible to port Gearotic to run on a tablet such as galaxy Tab or IPad. Would these devices have the horsepower to do the calculations and graphics? I run a I7 windows 7 notebook which seems to render any output quickly. I can not imagine how quick the iPad is by comparison.
