NC Verify too slow in MC8

[Henry]

Hei!

Have anybody noticed that verifying in MC8 even simplest 2D contour with mill D32mm takes forever(NT pages to virtual disk almost immediately)?Changing mill diameter smaller helps,but thats not a solution.Same verifying in MC7 takes almost notime.

Is it time for enhancement?Or we have to wait until Lightwork improves Sirius products?

Best regards,

Henry

Have you tried changing your settings for verify. Set your moves/step and moves/refresh to their highest possible settings. You probably already know this, but no tool or wireframe tool make it run faster than solid tool. Good luck.

You might also mant to try decreasing your hardware acceleration on your graphics card.

Go to Display Properties, under the advanced button, and troubleshooting tab. There should be a slide bar that can adjust the graphics acceleration. Slow it down a notch and see if the speed issue improves.

Good Luck!

Doug,

Thanks for tip.I could try it out,if there were any Windows 95,98 computer around me.But there is'nt.

And to bstall:all verify is done in turbo,no tool,truesolid on.Without truesolid there's no paging at all,but still slow.

Most verifyers are ram hogg"s >>>>>simple fact!

Maybe its time to look at work stations that have 500meg to 2.0 gig of ram ! i,m using 2.0 gig of ram & my solid verify screams no matter how large the file size , for example i did a 6 meg verify solid with solid tool & holder & it clocked out at 16 min's

your video card & driver settings may be part of the problem but not all.

Kenneth,

I also wrote that verify is very slow even in verifying 2D contour(simple rectangle).

And it's faster in MC 7.2c.

Since you are using a 32 mm tool, is your Mastercam set to work in Metric? Otherwise it thinks that it is a 32 inch diameter tool.

CycleTimeCharles,

Yes,it's all metric.It even wasn't bullnose mill,because that kind of endmills are slower to verify.
