Problem with new patch

[Die Sinker]

To all- I downloaded the new patch for V9 this morning dated Mar. 06, 2002 and when I regenerate ALL toolpaths, Mastercam crashes (performed an illegal operation). Any suggestions?

Hi

The patches work on my last two files.Is it

possible that you upset the defaults , before you loaded the patches ?

You can delete the Appmch9 files out of your Apps directory if you are having problems.

I have a problem with the new patch as well... or at least I just noticed it after loading the new patch...

 

When loading up a file with existing toolpaths, it puts red X's on some of my toolpaths. (I dont remember seeing these red X's before the patch) These were "merged NCI" toolpaths and transformed toolpaths that were linked to the "merged NCI" toolpaths. So I deleted them, merged them again, transformed them, and all looks good. I turn posting off for the merged files. Now I save and exit, When I come back in, I get and error loading the binary NCI, here is the warning that I get...

Now I have red X's on almost all of my toolpaths.

 

Any ideas?

I tried to recreate the situation in a new file, but everything seems fine. I dont get any errors... I guess some how my original file got corrupted...

I tried some toolpaths today on another project and all seemed to work OK. Yesterday after the system crashed, I brought up my AUTOSAVE file and all my NCI files were 0K. In other words, V9 seems to be a bit "twitchy". But I will continue using V9 to work the bugs out, because I really like the enhancements.

Gary what happened I thought you were coming to the show?

Or did you come monday when I was not there.

Hi Jay- I was planning to attend, but I had a die I just had to complete. With the industry in a very slow state, we have to please the customer with fast delivery dates. But, Mastercam is the software keeping us in business!
