Glenn,
I notice that my smart sweep lost its location and sweeped the whole vat.
About 3 layers later the smart
part of it kicked in, the build took 36 hours. That has been the only
time I have noticed it. I have build station 4.1.1.
We will be installing smart sweep on our SLA-500 in a couple of weeks
when Johnny, our FE, gets back from vacation.
