Entities won't delete

[Trapper Paul]

Greeetings forum,

After I move items from one level to another sometimes the # of entities box will not "zero out".

There's are know entities left there but I just can't get the column to zero out, its more of a inconveneice than a problem. Any idea's?

welcome to forum

When you are moving surfaces from one level to another and if they are trimmed surfaces the original surface is still in that level as blanked. unblank them and delete them.

Mekanikal never delete original blanked surface they will delete the required trimmed surface also.

Just so you know when unblanking them and deleteing them. In some cases it will ask to delete assosateded enitites if you do this you will loose all the surfaces including the trimmed ones.

 

So just lookout and backup files.

I have notice that even after unblanking and deleting all entities, that the level manager will continue to say that there are items on that level.

 

If you save and then get file, they usually zero out. I think they have something to do with the undelete memory.

 

I had a few times that nothing I do would zero out that level. I just ignored it after awhile.

I've learned just to put up with the extras. I used to care, but it doesn't bother me any more.

Code_breaker after deleting entities do a ram saver command that will remove these entities.

Thanks Code-Breaker, JAMMAN! You guys know what i mean...I'm starting to just ignore them also, much more work to do....

After deleting entities delete the level name and.

You could only show named levels.

Just a thought.

O.k Guys ,I`ll show you trick

One condition :

in your configuration you must have acting shortcuts or Icons for screen->blank and screen->change level commands .

The file I am getting from Cimatron Elite (parasolid ) has dipersed entities for all levels .

What I do is following :

Open level manager .right click ->get named levels and import my level names

then I make visiblle used or named levels

Now I trasnsfer all entities to level 1 named main.

aFTER THAT I make active level255 named hidden

and make not visible level 1

A lot of other levels show number of entities yet we see nothing because they blank .

OK

Now screen->blank->unblank ,,,,~~>Mastercam shows all blanked entities!!!! at this stage I start new command from button or shortcut screen->change levels ->to level255 select all entities !!!>mastercam select all blanked entities and after moving them to level 255 I make escape.

Result ->all blanked entities in level 255 and I can make it nonvisible.

All levels that were with blanked entities are free and if they have no names I will not see them in operation manager setted to named or used .

I continue to separate my main level moving work surfaces to their level ,outer contour to it`s own and so on.

It is a matter of 5 minutes and a result ?

I deleted nothing .

So I will never have problems with assosiated entities and so on .

I can move my geometry ,transform ,do anithing I

wish and never ever any problems .

And I see only my 15-30 real used levels
