EDS maintains newsgroups called Bulletin Board Notes (bbsnotes) for their various products through their Global Technical Access Center (GTAC).
http://bbsnotes.ugs.com/ These newsgroups evolved from a pre-internet bulletin board and includes newsgroups for UG NX, Solid Edge, IDEAS and some defunct products such as Bravo, CAMAND and SmartCAM. My point is that EDS already has an alternative to the list server in place but it is not actively being used. (There are currently only 6 entries in 2 threads from 5 users.) I think that all the emails from the list server archive could be imported to this news group to allow searching earlier postings. It is my hope that this is available to all SmartCAM users. To access the bbsnotes newsgroups you are required to have a "web key" consisting of a user ID and password. I already have one because our company subscribes to GTAC for UG support. Can someone from the list who is not using a current EDS product (i.e. UG, Solid Edge, IDEAS) give it a try and let us know? The following is the required information listed for SmartCAM users: SmartCAM - This requires an Installation Number and a Server Code. You can get your Server Code by clicking on the License Key icon located in your SmartCAM program group. Then click on the Key at the top of the SmartCAM License Administration form to open a pull-down menu. Choose Create or Modify from the menu. The System Server Code appears at the top of both the Generate Request and the Modify License Key Forms. The information is then entered here: https://plmapps.plms-eds.com/webkey/sdrc_step2_smartcam.jsp?product=SMARTCAM ================================================== Fred Lauzus, CAM Programming Coordinator High Steel Structures, Incorporated mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.highsteel.com ================================================== ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
