Version 2.281
Hi All:
A few small changes, and some bug fixes. This version includes preliminary release of Slitsaw usage in
4th axis work. It also has Pendulums for those that miss their display on clock designs.
A short video on this version is at

Re: Version 2.281
I did a very quick test, created a Graham escapement, then added a pendulum. Even with clicking on the pawl it placed it on the ratchet shaft. When I deleted it GT went into an unescapable "Encountered an improper argument" dialog box loop that required killing it with the task manager.

Hi Kirk:
Problem fixed and online. You need to place on a shaft , not the pawl, click no the shaft in the project tree..its easier. But if you delete a pendulum, it wont cause a crash anymore.

Re: Version 2.281
Its been some time since I updated, but I can't get this version to install. After installing it (repeatedly), I continue to get the error that Gearotic "failed to start because an application configuration is incorrect".
This is an XP machine.
Suggestions?

Well I can't get Feedrate and Plungerate changes made to tools in the tool crib window to show up in the main 3-axis CNC window or in posted code even if changes are made prior to generating a tool path.

Are the changes applied and accepted? ( By this I mean if you go back to the ToolCrib are the changes shown there? )
Also, are the changed showing up on the screen overridables, ( Those boxes on the screen where you can override
the feed and plunge rates?)
Thx

Hmm, use the program in the Gearotic folder named VCRedist_x86.exe .. run that, does it help?

Re: Version 2.281
That ran, and I'm a little closer. Now when it starts (splash screen shows) I get "Error Found Gearotic 3: attempt recovery". Neither a yes or no response gets anywhere.
Next?
