X Backplot error message

[bbrown01]

I get the following error when backplotting.

 

"The following operation has an invalid arc:

#11 - Pocket (Remachining)"

 

If I check "Mark invalid arc end point" I get a series of points added to level 255.

 

The problem is I don't have an operation "#11 - Pocket (Remachining)" I do have a "#11 - Pocket (Standard)"

 

Is there a method to figure out what's really going on here?

 

Thanks,

Brian

sounds like you're on the right track. what are the points on level 255 indicating? lead ins? inside corners?

uploading to ftp is a good option if you can.

Bellyup,

 

I have figured out the problem is with OP-5 not OP-11. I deleted and recreated OP-5 and the error now indicates OP-86. So this must be a bug with reporting the OP number.

 

The points are associated with re-machining an inside arc. I think I need to play with lead-in/out. Now that I know what the real OP numer is, I should be able to figure it out.

 

Thanks for your help.

Sometimes running ramsaver with correct this problem.... and sometimes it won't

I just got this error also. Nothing I've tried fixes the problem. It is happening on a 2d contour. when I analyze the chain it reports to be good.

 

Gcode, how does ramsaver help? Is it because of some corruptedness that is being removed?

Ramsaver looks for and deletes duplicate entities

Sometimes this helps, sometimes it doesn't.

I've also found that if you've been translating,

rotating or projecting entities, you sometimes

get a ghost of the old entity stuck in the Groups

Manager, Open Groups and cleaning it out sometimes helps too.
