missing hole

[WeGrok69]

Has anyone seen a problem with MasterCam

dropping the first hole that has been selected for drilling? It doesn't matter if I select manually or mask on arc at least 50% of the time

it drops the first hole. It happens more often

if I zoom after selecting the first hole. My Dealer has never seen this problem. I thought MasterCam may have gotten corrupted so I did a complete re-install and that did not help. - any ideas?

What version V9 or X??

 

BTW welcome to the forum.

oldirish,

Did you start seeing this problem after a post update or are you a new Mastercam user? Repeating Ron's question, what version are you using?

Mine seems to like to add holes at zero,zero.

Another strange phenomenon of X. Havent had it miss any though. Sometimes the mask on arc acts up and doesnt select right. Also the sort options don't always do what it should either.

I am using V9.1 MR 0304 educational version

I don't see how it could be the post, after selecting,say, four holes and hitting escape

it says 3 holes selected at the bottom prompt.

It may have started after I had Gibbs installed

or after I replaced my hard drive or it may have been happening all along.

I started working for C-U Boulder a year and a half ago. About a year ago is when I noticed but until then I may have thought it was just

Operator error. Now I am sure it is not my fault.

I did not know about this forum 'till last week

It seems like a grand place to come for tips. you'll be seeing a lot more of me from now on.

Welcome to the forum oldirish!

 

I haven't heard this one until now. I use mask on arc and always get the right quantity of points.

 

Do you know an Engineering student by the name of Tom Szelag at CU Boulder? He's a forum member here too and I'll bet he would be willing to take a shot at helping you with this problem. Sometimes 2 heads really are better than 1!

I don't think I know Tom. I work at

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP). Tell him to stop by the shop sometime.

Should I have service pack 2 instead of MR0304?
