x2 takes too long to post

[Programinator]

I loved how fast mcam 9.1 posted a program and now x2 takes like 4 times as long. Does this drive anyone else crazy or is my computer just a sinker

X2 seems to post a little slower, and it opens a little slower also than 9.

 

However the thought of going back to V9 surface-rough-pocket instead X2 HST-Core/area makes the little things not such a big deal.

yes i hate that why is that

It's a conspiracy to bring all of the manufacturing world to a standstill

X2 does everything slower. I think they are looking for consistency.

I think it has something to do with the fact that they are now bringing three things together at the time of posting.

 

Mach Def, Con Def, and Post.

 

I'm hoping eventually there will be no post processor, just the deffs and then might get faster.

 

Just a thought.

Shawn - When you are posting look at the progress bar and see if some variables are being re-set during posting. The MD/CD is re-setting post variables that don't match the MD/CD that will slow posting down.

 

The 1st start after re-boot MC does seem a bit slower. My theory is that the .NET runtime does not load until an application requests it (i.e. Mastercam X2).

Set your Control Def to log all errors to a log file and the screen.

That way you can see what's going on

I'll bet your post is reinitializing a bunch of variables.

Tweak things so that the post and control def are in sync and your posting will go much faster.

I have one 5X post that is a work in progress. It takes a full 2 minutes to post even one toolpath because the variables in the post don't match the variables in the Control Def.

Another 5X post that is set up properly runs large files in 5 to 10 secs.

ok i will try to match the m/d and c/d and see if that speeds things up.

 

thanks for the help
