Verify stock file changing

[Zoober]

Is anyone else having problems with their verify stock file (.stl) reverting to a certain file?

I have a file that I'm working on that I saved as a different file from a previous op. Now, when I work on the new file, every time I open it, my verify stock reverts back to the original file's .stl file.

Can I be doing sumfing wrong??

well if you are ..let me know cause its happening all the time for me as well ... i made the mistake of grabbing the wrong stl in the first place for this one program ....and i have to load up the new stl all the time when i go to verify it

try this just out of curiosity, go to system/config/files/-scroll down to .stl and

see what the path is and if the bogus file

is spec'ed out there.

 

???

Lou,

that configfiles area is only for path (of which mine is correct) , but in configverify, there is a stock file, of which my NEWER file is listed. But sure as shootin, the OLD file loads when I load this mcx file.

[Jack Neelands™]

goes as far as the data directory and that is it

thought I remembered V9 holding them there

sometimes and it seemed worth looking at.

I've been fighting this also,

Seems to revert back to default directory everytime.

 

Also, have any of you been playing with custom tool graphics?

It also always wants to revert back to the default directory.....(Everytime you open a file, you have to re-associate the custom tool mcx files back into the the tool definition.)

Zoober,

I have not tested this, but I believe that your problem has been addressed in X2.

With the increasing use of STL models as stock for Verify we have modified the part file to store the last STL file and its path. Now as MCX files that contain different stock models for verify are loaded the wrong stock won’t be loaded.

Yes, it is a problem.

The first stl file I opened was it D:mcam9data and it goes there every time to look for stl stock files.

It also does not remember the stock stl file name after I close it down.

Then the next time I go to this file I have to reselect the MCAMXdata directory and reselect the file again.

I hope some of the good guys (stroke, stroke) at CNC software chime in on this one!.
