i just went out and had a look at simplify3d nice program but in the specs it states needed opengl2.0 or better that puts me right back were i am.

You probably have 2.0 you would need to google to see if there  is a way to confirm your version.

XYZ requires 2.1 which is a higher version than what S3D requires.

Some info on what I am trying to do I have a stand alone computer that I use for all my CNC machines my shop is limited in space wow is it getting tight in here anyway I don’t want to have yet another computer in here so what I intended to do was run the xyz software from that computer it’s running XP 4 gig of ram.

Would Simplify give me more options then xyz as far as the xyz cartridge thing go, or will I need a cartridge resetter as well?

Many thanks for all your help.

For Windows... Google it smile  You might find your graphics card is update-able.

When I first installed xyzware on SnowLeopard, graphics were crude.  I updated to Yosemite and, wow! What a difference.  I'm sure Windows will be about the same...  I deleted xyzware on both my Mac's and Window's machines and just use Simplify3D.

Netfabb is both a Service and a stand-alone free app.  You can download it from their site (it's called Netfabb Basic) http://www.netfabb.com/downloadcenter.php?basic=1 .  That's what I use - it's much faster than repairing in Simplify (and does a better job).

So then i need a graphics card correct, because i have installed the latest driver i could find.

Thanks for the help


Just to note, you might want to consider Simplfy3D instead of the stock software. Yes it is 140 bucks but then a new graphics card will be atleast 75 bucks and if you are using a laptop then replacing the graphics card is not an option. Only very highend gaming laptops have discreet video cards that can be replaced.

If not, then yes, you'll need a new card.

I get this with an old netbook which doesn't support 2.1, my Win 7 laptop is fine.

From the manual ....

"Note: Stardard VGA driver on operating system, or a graphics card doesn't support OpenGL 2.1, may cause unknown error in XYZware."

Thanks again

Yes it will if i`m not mistaken I think it will have new in front of whatever the of your file is.


They actually add "Fixed" to the file name.

Yeah that's it I remember now
