Crash on save 5-3-06 3:00pm

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

I haven't seen a crash on save since I FINALLY took the advice to disable Windows System Restore. Problem solved apparently...

[RandleXX]

Freeze up on Wireframe Swept 3d toolpath regen. 5-3-06. 3:13pm

 

WOW! TWO within 15 min.

 

Restore is disabled

[Bruce Caulley]

I get 2 crashes a day, usually while autosave is going, but sometimes just on a regen. No auto restore here.

So what purpose does this thread serve? You'd be better emailing [email protected].

 

Thats a pretty negative title to the topic too.

X didnt crash on me today

 

 

PEACE

[Salahuddin]

it didn't crash for me for some time now.

I think hardware play a big resone for crashes

so maybe you can try the same part on two diff computers, one will crash and one wont.

for that reson reporting the crashes to qc will help them in solving such problem.

and I don't think reporting the crash here will help

Right up unitl the LAST time I said I had not had a crash.

[gcode]

Started a new job Monday_ had a couple of crashes

Turned off System Restore

Installed NVIDIA drivers 77.56 ( Solidworks likes them)and disabled unified back/depth buffer

Made sure "Save a bitmap" was turned off

Went to My Computer (right clck)/Properties/

Advanced/Performance/Settings/and clicked the radio button "Adjust for best peformance"

(All that Windoze eyecandy uses a lot of horsepower)

No crashes Tuesday or Wendsday

[John13]

No crashes here in a long time.

[Namliek_J@TheeCircle™]

No crashes lately for me. I know how to make it crash though.

 

Draw a line from the origin on an angle, doesnt matter. Then transform that line about 5 times around a cylinder and then try to verify the toolpath. It may verify, but please be patient. It'll crash.

[mowens]

I only crash if I go several days without rebooting.

J.Keilman:

Tried what you mentioned several times with no crash. In fact I use this same method to create a similar toolpath for a turned post. Maybe your seeing this due to a setting that someone already might have mentioned here? Your issue caught my eye since I do this on a regular basis.

[Dan Kintzel]

Oh by the way - No crashes in such a long time I couldn't tell you the last crash occured.

 

Sorry Randle, if Mastercam is too much for you or your equipment, maybe it's time to move on....

Actually, Randell bought a pretty hot box a while back. I don't know what the problem is, but it can get real frustrating.

[lynnz]

No crashes here for a long time. Actually can't remember last time. Doing 3D moldwork 90% of the time including the new highspeed toolpaths.

[Namliek_J@TheeCircle™]

Dan,

 

Check your email please.

 

I talked to a person who said they were using a beta MR2 or something and said the way I described didn't crash. I also sent a file to [email protected] and they crashed it too.

[Dan Kintzel]

J.Keilman: You got mail.

[Mito@DeeringBanjos]

im running MCX on a dell inspiron 8000, 512 sd ram and 1gig processor . my stone age computer does not even crash when configured correctly.

[bellyup]

although the title may be somewhat negative, i still think this is a good thread.

this is a users forum and if crashing seems to be a problem for some, perhaps this thread can shed some light on the causes. the negativity aside, i think cnc should welcome the feedback (as they usually do) as a challenge to improve the product.

if there are a lot of crashes, or just a few, either way let the truth be told and see what shakes out.
