X Lathe Backplot??

[Brendan P]

In V9 when backplotting a part,you could set the verify 'on' so when you have your stock

set for shaded,you see the material being removed with each pass when stepping thru.

I cannot find anywhere to make this happen???

This was a real handy function in 9.

 

Perhaps Gcode may be able to shed some light on it?

 

 

Thanks

Yes,I really want that back!

I hope that they are really working on it.

WTH would they have even removed it?

Hop it wasn't something that they just forgot to include!!!!

Are we talking like this.

Sample shot

[gcode]

Yes,

in V9 the stock is removed dynamically as the tool passes though it

 

in X the stock updates at the end of an operation

[cadcam]

I notice if I step tru the cuts and stop say after a cut for about 2 seconds it works so there must be setting I am not seeing to update faster.

 

Here is a sample again.

It looks to me like you have it working jay.

But how? I matched all you button settings in backplot,and all I get it this!

I sent an email off to mc qc

here is what they said:

 

The "switch" is the button to the immediate left of the exclamation mark

in Backplot. If you hover the mouse, the tooltip should say "Quick

Verify" which is terminology used to differentiate that from the Verify

function (as opposed to backplot).

 

You need to have both the Quick Verify button down (on) and pause as you

step through - if you click (or hit s) until you get a retract, then

hesitate/pause for about a second, the stock will disappear. This is

still being worked on. The problem is that to remove the stock in Run

mode would really bog things down significantly.

Now I tried this and it did not work at all for me.

I paused 1 sec. 2sec. 10 sec, 5 minutes.....

Not sure about the bogging down thing,it worked very nicely in 9.

Whoever they outsourced creating the backplot for X should get there stuff together.....

I am hoping this is something that they can resolve cause if not,it will suck!!

[Brendan P]

Ok,i got another email from qc and was told that this issue will be resolved in SP1

 

 

Great,i'll be feeling better

[mross]

any idea when we can expect SP1???

 

year or two...j/k

[Brendan P]

I heared within a month or two

Brendan,

what video card do you have? If it is an nVidia Quadro, make sure to shut off 'Use unified back/depth buffer' in the Quadro Open GL settings.

[Steve Biehl - Cimquest Inc]

We are Beta testing SP1 now. Should be available within a few weeks.

[Brendan P]

Thanks Steve,

No,I am using an nvidia 5900

Maybe you can try the Sp1 and see if it works for you guys....
