How do I uninstall SP1

[Thee Dragracer1951]

Now I get toolpaths that scrap my parts and don't look ANYTHING lik ethe geo.

If I could post a file I would. Someone want to let me know how to get rid of this?????????

 

I gotta make parts!!!

[crazy^millman]

Uninstall X2 and reinstall the regular X2 and that should take care of it. Also need to get CNC to sign a Non-Disclosure so they can see what happened.

 

Make sure you back up for Posts/Tools/Config/CNC Machines before unistalling. Then I would erase the McamX folder it is in.

 

HTH

I just click on the icon that I downloaded from the internet and it will uninstall SP1 (only) and leave X2 in place like before. It worked for me... It took about 2 min to uninstall.

If you're not too busy trying to recover your system, could you elaborate on which toolpaths you had trouble with and whether the problems showed in verify or not, etc...

 

You've got me worried.

aaaaarrrrrgggggggggg!!!!!!!!!

This is a simple contour that looks loke the letter "P" (closed of course) it cuts something that does not even resemble the part. The verify shows no problem. I saved the geo (save some) as a DWG and retoolpathed it in X MR2. Works fine

There was also a XY zero shift of .400 in X and .1 in Y that was totaly unexplained. I'm going to zip it up and send it to QC

Then I'm going to uninstall SP1

I can't take this....

[Matt Berube at Ferron Mold]

Thanks for the info. Good luck uninstalling.

[Thee Dragracer1951]

I went to the link for SP1

that gives me the option of

modify

repair

remove

 

Which one?

Will remove uninstall only SP1 or will it nuke my system?

[Dan@home]

Remove..

 

Dan.

[Dan@home]

It only removed SP1 for me, but to be honest It's hard to say if SP1 did any thing for my MCX2.

Trashed the file I had though. about 30 megs

I'm rebuilding now. I'm going to send the whole thing to QC as soon as I get the machine making parts and I can hand it off...

Thanks guys.

[Thee Dragracer1951]

Ok....

I have a file that is on 27 different levels.

I need to import the geometry from those different levels into a new file (27 different new levels) in order to rebuild this file.

How do I do that????????????

We just installed X2 SP1 on one of our 4-stations... The programmer just zoomed in on a hole in his part, and was informed that "Mastercam will be shutting down, sorry for any inconvenience" (No problems zooming before SP1)

 

Luckily I came to the forums to see if we were alone - before we "updated" the other 3-stations!

 

So this new service pack fixed bugs??? LMAO

[Jim Evans from CNC Software]

Dragracer,

 

When you get a chance, please open mastercam, load the file with the bad toolpath and run zip2go and send the Z2G file to QC.

 

Not to be a smart A$$, but are you sure you have the same MD/CD and post in X2 SP1 as in X MR2?

 

Also, what trashed your file. Mastercam? Please add more detail so we can help you figure out what is going on.

I have been using X2 since the day it was released with no issues. I had my reseller give me a hand with MD's and CD's. That was all good. After I had downloaded SP1, I had a very simple contour post something that was not even close to the programed or backplotted contour. I then copied the geometry over to X (which is where my MD nad CD came from) nad it made the correct part.

I will zip this up in a bit an dsend it off to QC

Jim,

 

Did you ever get Cimco Edit Version 5? For about $500 you can get a real Gcode backplotter. This would have shown you the errors before you ran the part. I realize SP1 still has problems, but its nice when you can catch it before its on the machine.

 

HTH,

Dragracer,

 

When you send in the Z2G, make sure the post, machine definition and control definition are also attached. Thanks.
