    DCM Does not open

    if its encrypted, there is no way of opening it (for reading file, which is requiremement for conversion to stl) without encryption keys. And what you have there is Network error: service (server) refuses to accept connection from your computer. It could be that your computer is not allowed...

    Looking for recommendations for hardware configuration for 3Shape Server

    My experience with virtualization is limited to openvm and i have never tested 3shape in virtual environent. Having Virtual Machine (VM) does not remove possibility of disastrous failure of hardware that runs virtual machine. Advantage of virtualization is basically that you can take snapshots...

    Looking for recommendations for hardware configuration for 3Shape Server

    Yep, windows workstantions have limit of 10 concurrent connections. Windows Server editions do not have that, it uses CALs (Client Access licences) and amount of connected Clients is limited by that. At one point Windows Server Essentials was limited to 50 connected Clients (50 cal) and to 25...

    Obj files and Exocad

    Err.. wierd statement. Files are defined - not optimized. Its program that can be optimized (to certain extend) to read/write/operate with specific files. File types are defined, usually by RFC document (or smthing similar) released by inventor (author) of file type. That defines what...

    3Shape Dental System 2023

    Changes are very very often in software internals. There might be couple things what user/designer needs to note. For example 2022 versions of splint studio changed how splint is generated (from outline) resulting a "hmm.... i have to remember that when drawing an outline to avoid extra...

    Windows 11 3shape question

    What version of 3shape software you are using? i think Dental system 2022 is first to officially to support Win11. DS 2020/2021 most likely run on win11, but i would expect to see bugs like these.

    Few 3Shape-Server planning Questions

    D900 has been running around 4 years on remote dongle (versions used DS/DM 2019, 2020, 2021) Having database files in network location means extra latency and extra cpu usage on DM-Server machine. This becomes issue when dealing with multiple 3shape clients. I would recommend keeping local...

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    - Check Exocad settings, make sure you have settings-db.xml in DentalDB\Config folder and it has required lines. Naturally you must replace Server = something here with IP address of or name of your server (id use ip address),change Database = to match database schema you have created with...

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    i dont think new NAS is needed. QNAP (operating system is called QTS) and Synology (operating system is called DSM) are actually both linuxes, it is the control tools that look different: usually one is good at some thing, other good at other. I think its just about finding out how/what to do...

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    Making backup copy of dentaldb files (entire dentaldb folder perhaps, but basically sqlite database files are sufficent) before doing anything is "i hope i did not have to mention this" -level thing. Backup, Backup, Backup. In migrating instructions there is location and filename which to back...

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    Generally explaining how to do migration forum is possible, but explanations are just guidelines. Explaining how to use DBeaver to create database, user and setting privileges is something you have to learn, because giving detailed instructions are seriously time consiming.. so its up to you to...

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    yep. NAS might provide some functionality to control MariaDB databases, like phpmyadmin. that usually allows you to create "database schema", create database users and change privelages. Usually it can be used to import data as well. if there is no database tools in NAS, there are windows...

    Exocad database in cloud?

    if you use cloud like you mentioned, then it should work. Just make sure that sync is __finished__ when uploading/downloading files. i mean, sometimes syncs fail: "set it and forget it" might result a situation where sync is not completed and that brings problems.

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    Dang! my memory served me badly. At one point MariaDB was not fully supported on ARM cpus (which most nas's use),but.. apparently it is! Just make sure that MariaDB version is what Exo migrating instructions mention (10.6.x series) and give it a go :-)

    exocad database problem - multiple licenses

    Looking for an iOS, Apple Pencil-friendly, CAD workflow

    Shoulders getting hammered is simply because large 22/24" touchscreens are used improperly. But having said that, im not convinced that large screens can be used properly with Dental CAD (3shape) due nature of the application. Problem is related to need of keyboard and mouse(s),and then using...

    Looking for an iOS, Apple Pencil-friendly, CAD workflow

    There are software that perform something called "screen mirroring" to iPad (in theory to any IOS device ) and they enable to use iPad as drawing tablet (pen, gestures etc). Personally i dont have any experience on these, so i really do not know weather these actually work with 3shape. Astropad...
