Pitifull. Did they have a banquer making random MDI edits
at the controls?
Last place I saw that had once been Fortune 500 ... just trying
to undo the mess cost them many, many millions.
They had even over-written the part files with random-edit
undo***ented g-code then overwritten the "backups"
with the new "improved" shop-floor-control stuff.
Just imagine trying to add one hole & post to a different
work center ... times thousands of parts ...
