Backplot=Shutdown and Restart X

[Kelly Burns]

Ive noticed that several times when I go to backplot, X will error out and not respond. It doesnt happen all the time, but when it does it completley shuts out and closes. I see the usual

"Send error report to Microsoft?". Does this happen to anyone else? What would be the cause of this, and how do I fix it?

 

Thanx Kelly

care to share the file?

i've seen some PCs during V9 training that crashes during backplot because students press buttons that they are not supposed to (like the cancel button while backplot is still running instead of stopping first)- it might not be foolproof.

just some suggestions.

It happens on the one machine we have it loaded on. You are right, there is no one thing that I have found that triggers it. It even happened during the roll out seminar I attended yesterday.

 

Anyone from CNC have a clue?

Unfortunately the answer to that question is confidential and belongs on the reseller forum!

If you haven't done so already please e-mail the file to [email protected] along with your system information. OS, Ram, graphics card, etc. so we can look into it.

 

It's a good thing Peter is here to keep it light...

I've run into this about 4 or 5 times now in different files. Every time, I was coming out of adjusting the lead in/out parameters. I then did a regen to that op and then backplot. I'll do the email thing mentioned above. Should we be sending the post that we used at the time?

There is a new feature inthe Help menu called Zip2Go.

It zips the file/post/comfing files etc all into one zip file with one click. Use that to send files to QC. Its very hand for taking work home too.

HevyMetl,

 

Were you at PRISM yesterday, I thought I recognized the name of your co. on your shirt but wasn't sure so I didn't say anything.

[Greg VN]

I see this problem frequently. I have not noticed any particular pattern for this to happen. I wonder where this report goes and if anyone is on the receiving end. Wouldn't it be nice if they had a way to respond to the one having the lockdown and give them a solution?

[HevyMetl]

Yeah, John I was there. I think you were setting up in front of me to my right. Was that you wearing a Appalachian Harley shirt?

 

I thought it was a very informative session. I just had so many questions I need to get up there for a day and pick Matt and Mike's brain for awhile.

[John13]

HevyMetl,

 

Yea that was me. Sorry I didn't say anything. I thought it was very informative too, I hope I can pick it up without having to go to another class though. Although if I need to go, they definitley know their stuff.

Only been playing with X for the last few days and I've had the backplot crash 3 times so far. Also noticing some strange graphics issues, like the Alt-t sometimes does not work at all, and when it does it will sometimes just toggle on and off one operation while all the other toolpaths stay frozen on the screen.
