Duplicate Operations

[Wise-ACR]

I have noticed that when I select all operations and do a regen. I get an extra set of operations. Has anyone experienced this.

[Goldorak]

no problem here!!!!

 

when you click in OP manager if you drag slightly it will copy all your selected operation!!!

[Tarheel]

Can you say "FATFINGER"

Been there, done that!

[Keith @ Solid Code Solutions]

Another one of those OP Manager wigg-outs.

[Wise-ACR]

Thanks Keith. Is this a Bug?? or am I doing something wrong here? all I do is select regen all and then it creates all of these duplicates. It's a pain

I HIGHLY doubt it

 

This is "likely" something you're doing but without seeing it it's tough to say what.

[Wise-ACR]

Well John,all I do is select all operations green button on far left,then select regen all selected operations and I get the extra operations. try it.

[Kannon]

every file or just a certain one?

Works as expected for me

[Wise-ACR]

I figured out whats happening.If you select an operation an transform it x number of times in my case 8.Then if I make any changes and have to regen it creates all the extra operations.

[Keith @ Solid Code Solutions]

Like I said another wigg-out.

John,

 

Just because it doesn't happen to you does not mean it must be operator error. The OP Manager seems to be unstable ie. duplicating tools upon coping operations, moving operations or groups within other groups....

[Wise-ACR]

Thanks. Kannon it only happens after a transform. So is this a bug or what. Shoould it be on the bug list and where is the bug list.

[Keith @ Solid Code Solutions]

Linky

[Wise-ACR]

Agreed

[Fred @ Slate Industries]

I would:

Send it in with a before and after screen shot.

Also explain the steps you took to get your undesirable result.

 

If they confirm it’s a bug, you can tell us!

[Wise-ACR]

I will,but what I cannot understand is that SOMEONE is aware of this. Why the heck do we have to find out the hard way. Isn't this stuff beta tested. someone needs to be honest here.

 

Why do I have to go to the forum to find out whats wrong.

[Keith @ Solid Code Solutions]

arc1234,

 

You could be a first for this one.

[gcode]

The transform operations have a radio button labeled "create new operations" or something like that.

If that button is checked, you might get a few set

of copies every time you regen.

Personally, I never use it.

I'd concider that a bug, as it shouldn't make copies after the first time, but unchecking may fix the problem

[Wise-ACR]

Thanks gcode. you are correct,I do have the create new operstions button checked.

[Will Slota]

You mention you have a Transform toolpath.

 

Do you have the "copy new operations and geometry" option on? Do you have the "Keep this transformation operation" checked?

 

Did you check mark "Copy source operation"?

 

I would investigate the transform operations settings under the types and settings tab.

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

Here's what I'm hearing...

 

You make a toolpath operation, make a transform operation using it, modify the original operation, and then hit regen all.

 

In X2MR1, what I see happening is that the transformed op gets deleted and a new one, incorporating the change to the original op, gets made. No duplicates...

 

I also went to the 'Linky' that Keith added a couple posts ago - lots o' gripin' (because, yes, bugs do exist) but with no real specifics.

 

One of the laws of software development - it'll be in my book "Of Software and Sausages" (you like them but wouldn't want to see the way they're made) - is that we can only fix what we can reproduce. And in order to do that we need - like Tony says - clearly described problems and clear steps of how to reproduce them.

[Will Slota]

Create new Operations and Geometry

 

Copies geometry from the original operation to each transform location and applies parameters from the original operation to each new toolpath.The original operation (geometry and parameters) is then deleted. This method creates several new independent operations with the same geometry and parameters instead of a single transform operation.

[Will Slota]

If you could copy your file to the ftp site I would gladly look at it.
