Salem, I don't know why you are having problems with this file. I read it in O.K., analyzed the surfaces no probleb, and just hit regenerate toolpaths. seemed to work fine. I put Salem_1.zip up on Cadcams ftp site with the toolpaths. Hope this helps

do you mean regen path if yes that means that I have unknown problem because this screen facing me and if I choose yes the color table appears- after choosing the color - no thing happens and still MC could not genrate the tool path

if I choose no I face the same problem with out the color table

Looks like you are only running 9.0, might want to download some patches. That might fix your problems.

thank you

They are linked right here through e-mastercam under patches at the top of the screen. You will have to be a maintenance customer to get many of the latest and greatest.

Hey Salem,

I too downloaded your file, analyzed it, regen toolpath and all is well. Until I tried it again, the regen works fine until I hit the esc button on the keyboard. Then I get the same error you did. So I tried it again not hitting the Esc on the keyboard and all worked well again.

Do you have something hitting your Esc button on the keyboard when trying to regen?

well , I tried to press the Esc botton many befor doing regen path - I saied mabybe it hunges up - and then I press regen path then I waited for several min. but I gained the same resulte

 

but if I press Esc botton quikly after the regen path botton I got that resulte quikly

 

could any one...

Try to change your tolerance once or your step down just a few tenths either way and try it again.

Pick a color not used in your drawing, then do an "Alt E" "all" "color" and pick the same color you just picked. The problem surface should be the only thing on your screen. Some times they are really small surfaces that are hard to see. Check all views Top, front, side, ect.... if you still can't see the surface try the screen statistic and it should tell you if there is a surface there. Sometimes thay will appear if you unshade also.

 

After you find the problem surface you may have to make it over,or delete and not use it if is really small, then try to regenerate the tool path.

 

 

Hope this make sense
