X7 MU2 Stock Model

[Brian B 74]

Seems lately when trying to create a stock model from an existing stock model it seems the regeneration time is through the roof.  System gets sluggish.  Open my task manager and out of the 16GB or ram I have 15.9 GB is being used (99% of which is from Mastercam).

 

Anybody else experiencing this?  Is there a work around?

Yes, I get that once in a while. It just fills up your ram and crashes. What I end up doing is changing the tolerance of the stock model until i get it to work. Sometimes if I cannot live with a horrible looking stock model, I will run a partial stock model and save that to a poly mesh, then create a new stock model pointing to that as stock and add more operations...piecing together poly mesh's until i get the final stock model. Yes it is slow and a PITA, but it works.

I have found that if there is ANY type of undercutting with saws or woodruffs in a stock model, the calculation time is ridiculous if you're patient enough to actually wait for it. Usually taps out the RAM as the Jrygus has stated.
