Problems with Project

[Cobra Driver]

Is anybody else having problems with Xform-Project? I'm dealing with .iges files out of ProE, and what's happening is at some time Project will start ignoring my level and color AND the fact that EA Manager is off, and the result of my projection will be the default level and color (in this case, 1 and 15.) Again, that's with EA Mgr OFF. Use New Attributes doesn't help, either. Save the program, restart Mastercam and the problem goes away. Anyone?

my experience with project is that the new projected entities will be created with the current active level and color...is this not what you're seeing?

I believe this is how it has always worked...at least since version X....

Uncheck "Use Group Color" and check "Use entity

color" on the SYstem Config/Colors page

just a guess

It looks like the problem may have been bad geometry. When I was picking the chain I didn't notice there was about a 2 tenth gap and one of the branch points...caught onto that when I couldn't move my start point. So it seems like trying to project an open chain was bombing X2 out somehow and it didn't go back to projecting properly until the program was closed and re-started.

 

To test I brought the bad .iges file back in, fixed the geometry FIRST, then projected and it worked fine.
