Xform Project problems

[RandyN]

Anyone else running into a problem with xform project since mr1 came out? I just had it happen 2 times in a row where i try to project a line on a surface and get a "no projections found" error, and I have to restart mastercam and then it works fine.

 

Maybe its something I'm doing wrong, but I don't think so, since I've never run into this before.

Last time I used project it worked fine for me. The only time I got the "no projections found" error it was my fault. I was trying to project a line onto a vertical surface and had forgotten to change my construction plane.

I use it a lot and have had no problem, except like JohnW, when I forget to have the correct construction plane.

[gcode]

Occasionally, a toolplane will "stick" on me

I'll change a toolplane and the lables say it changed, but it really didn't, its stuck on the previous one.

When this happens, project can fail to find projections.

Usually, reselecting the correct toolplane will

fix it, but sometimes a restart is the only thing that will unstick things.

I've never been able to reproduce it well enough to send in for a bug report.

Yeah, I checked all that though, and everything was set right. It seems to be just the project to surface that is causing me problems. When it happens, if i save right there and close MC and pull up the file in a fresh MC, it works fine. Just wanted to check if anyone else had seen this before I bug it to CNC.

 

Thanks

 

Edit, posted this the same time you did gcode. Yeah, I have had the sticky plane issue too, and this could be involved in that. That is why I didn't want to bug it, I can't reproduce it unless I don't want to...

I've had that happen a couple of times as well since MR1 came out. The last time, I copied my geometry over into another session and it worked just fine. I thought maybe it was something I was doing wrong.
