Moved, chaining widow out of the way, as to select a chain, but
froze solid while dragging it, hard reboot was the only cure.

[JParis]

and can you repeat that same thing?

[Rickster™]

I'll let you know.

I don't think I will have the exact same scenario thou.

I create curves through two sets of multiple compound angle surfaces.

I was using the 'u' shaped, multiple splines as the trimming chain and keeping both sides,
that worked, i hit the plus sign to do it again, selected the surfaces,check, chain window
came up and  then the freeze as stated above.

I did have Mc open for awhile created a funky runner, part line and drafted slide seal off.

After I rebooted I was able to do it with out a hitch. I think my cache was peaking, seems typicle
because earlier Project to surface wouldn't work, (happens alot) and a simple close and restart
fixed it as usual.

I was trimming the orange seal off to the runner


I had saved just prior so I did not lose more than a few minutes.

renaming toolpath group.  

But i don't blame the software. I'm sure I need more gigglebites and ram or something.

I might be able to make Mcam crash to desktop every time.

Crunch a 5 axis toolpath and while its working, hit the little red x in the top of the status box not the bottom one.

hi guys
cruch mastercam X6 MU1?, no problema:
toolpath, multiaxis-> curve 5 axis
select tool
select holder
cut patern->3D curves->select->chain
tool axis control->chain->select->chain
colision control->on selected curve
linking-> whatever
roughing-BOOM!!!-YOU ARE OUT

selekting parameters in order from top to bottom
as logical way is not what you expect
btw, mastercam X4 and X5 is O.K.

if you can create a step by step proceedure that will crash X6MU1, you should send a file
and step by step instructions to qc@mastercam.com

yea, i know, but i do not have internet on my mastercam workstation
company restrictions

MC'c only option, is to get an edge curve
from the edge of a surface. Rarely they are
arcs. Someday they will make geo creation
off surface edges better, I have faith, for
Now SC. Is flawless.

Continuous spline ( 1entity ) should not
be an issue with surface creation.

Ah well it is what it is.

Second crash today.  Once just did a core dump with segmented fault.

The other just crashed icon still sitting there, gonna force me to reboot.


Dam I hate Solaris...


Wait a minute......

Duh......and I was only modeling...

I was drawing a spline though.

Hell my DROID crcrashed 4 times already today.  I already did a factory reset.  I am not being sarcastic.  Swear...  true it is!  I would probably be crashing Mastercam if I was using it today....

I was working with my reseller with MC crashing on Verify I noticed the mem would go from under 2GB to 4.5gb+ on a simple 1 min verify.  He suggested the video driver so I installed the new Quadro driver (296.88) and now I can get through a Verify.  The previous Quadro driver (296.70) apparently has something that Mastercam doesn’t like.  What really sucks is I usually test after updating but I missed this one.
