Threadmill broken in 2023 also?!

[SlaveCam]

Why on earth are these values:

being written here

when I regenerate ???

 

[gcode]

I use 2023 thread milling a dozen times a week

have you tried restoring the defaults for the thread mill toolpath??

[Chally72]

The override values are being incorrectly latched onto by the tool page- Slavecam has found this at about the same time as us. This is R-32638, and we're examining options to fix this in 2024 currently.

[SlaveCam]

I use the override values all the time for spring pass. How come it wasn't found until now, 2023 been out for a while

Temporary workaround:
- Input both normal and finish speed and feed
- Regenerate
- Input normal speed and feed again (do not regenerate. if it requres regen, untick finish speed and feed and start over)
- The values are still shown incorrectly, but the posted code should have proper values
- Lock the toolpath

[SlaveCam]

And now the above doesn't work anymore. For some time, it worked, now it doesn't - changing standard feed always requires regen.

I can't express how frustrated I am with this, got to reprogram all thread milling ops, WTF are we paying maintenance for??

To tell us they will fix what they broke in this version with the next version, while breaking something else, that they will fix in the version after that, ad infinitum.

We still haven't switched to 2023, and monitoring this forum is the primary reason for that. This forum rocks! Broken "new" MC versions, not so much.

Well you want all the latest and greatest bugs, don't you?

There is no money in satisfied customers.

It's like the medical industry. There is no money in healthy people.

It's like the military industrial complex. There is no money in peace. 

It's like the automotive industry. There is no money in reliable vehicles. 

I could go on but you get the point.

Us either. Most places I've seen are at least a full release behind. We're at 2020 still.

using 2024 here.

The ModuleWorks 5X  toolpaths get better every year and are worth the work it takes to upgrade

I do get sick of upgrading posts though .. We've got about 30 of them

I like how hyperMill does it... the Okuma 5X post I bought in 2013 still runs fine in 2023

Just checked this in Mastercam 2024 Update 2

This is still broken.

[Chally72]

This is currently slated for Update 3
