2020, Simulator Problems

[Code_Breaker]

Good Day, Everyone,

I am having several problems with he Simulator after Updating all the Patches to 2020.

1) Locks up at Start Up, have to use Task Manager to close Program.

2) Simulator's View doesn't match  MCAM's view at Startup using WCS

Make sure you are using the latest Video Card drivers for your computer.

Thanks, Ron,

I have the latest RTX4000 drivers...also, working from home with the Company's computer via VPN.

It would freeze on Startup and although I can Click through the Menu button, the Toolpath did not move. If you tried to close it, I would get Server Busy Message, but could not Switch To..., nor Retry. I had to go to the Task Manager and End Session for MasterCam.

I can only think it is the STL file … so I started over … Ran Operation 1 on a fresh Solid in MCAM and then saved the STL (RUFF-A.stl). Operation 2 uses that STL as a Stock Model. I then Prove out the 2nd Operation and save that STL (RUFF-B.stl). It would freeze using RUFF-A.stl. But, I think re-making my STLs over, everything seems to work.

It there a way that using a Created WCS, the Simulator viewports would use the same view as MCAM as it did in the Past Versions? For example, I would be in an isometric view of my WCS, but the simulator would be in the World WCS Isometric view with the Focus Icon selected to Workpiece. I changed it to Multiple Workpiece and it works. Is this what is expected?

There is the Sync Simulator to Mastercam option. I personally think is is terrible, but you may like it.

Ron,

The NEW problem with SYNC is it uses the Simulator View and forces MCAM view to change. The only way I can get this to work Properly (from my perspective) is to use Multiple Workpieces under FOCUS.
