CRASHING!!!!!!

[Mr. Wizzard]

I have installed X2 MR2 and now i have problems with transformed toolpath operations. Just about every time i try to create or modify an existing one, Mcam crashes. "unhandled exception" Anybody know why this is happening?

[kennebec]

I am having this from time to time it seems like one to two times a day and I am not specifically Transforming operetions but just changing tool path parameters, it seems related to the X2 MR2 vs. Windows update situation discussed in earlier threads

There are allot of different posts that are having this same alarm.

[Jacob Featherstone]

The other night I had it almost every two minutes... Even when I was doing something as simple as adding some line entities.

 

All three of the machines here have the problem from time to time. I almost expect problems from some of the slower machines, but the one that I use has the following specs:

Intel Duo E6850 - 3GHz

4gig of ram

Quadro FX 1500

XP pro 64bit

Hi

 

I have a lot of crashing problem also, then i realized that.

 

If click on an icon (in mastercam) more than one or two time, and i don't let the system run, then mastercam crash.

 

After comparing with my reseller, we realized that. He had the same problem. We don't think about a bug on mastercam.

 

My work contain a lot of toolpath, sometime 500, in the same file and it slowdown a lot espacially from when i installed MCAM X2MR2

 

My sysytem is pentium 4 3.80Ghz with 2Go of ram and my video card is quadro fx1400.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens or how to fix it?

Mcammiller -

 

i doubt this makes you feel any better, but i share your frustration. until today i hadn't had any crashing problems. read your post this morning browsing subjects and now this afternoon; over five crashes in under an hour while trying to modify existing toolpaths with the same 'unhandled exception' error.

 

i too would be interested in what this means, what has caused it, and how to fix / avoid it.

Make sure you have these set.

 

 

Not sure if it'll help of not but it's worth a shot.

One thing that has been mentioned in the past, and worked for me, is to make sure the path for your Definitions files are correct.

 

The best way to check this is to go into the machine def, then control def, then hit save as, not save.

 

make sure the path is to the new install and save.

 

then close control def, and do the same to the machine def.

 

Do it in this order only.

 

HTH.

thanks for the advice. everything appears to have been set correctly. currently doing exactly what i was doing yesterday . . . but no crashes as yet . . . WTF? only difference is closed and reopened MC. one peculiarity: for fear of crash, i have been saving my work frequently. on one instance, all toolpaths came up dirty. regenerated them quickly and easily, but strange nonetheless.

Mcammiller -

did you make any progress on your crashing problem? today i am back to crashing when modifying toolpaths.

 

anyone-

is there an inherent problem with right clicking, copy and pasting toolpaths in the operations manager? . . . because that is what i am doing. the crash will occur at some point in reselecting geometry on the pasted toolpath.

 

thanks

If you are crashing while you are clicking on you parameters, try doing a "File >> Save as >> give it a new name and reload you machine definition"

 

See if that helps.

Hi,

Just to specically explain how mastercam crash.

When i make a backplot with many big toolpath (15 or 20), the scrolling bar of the toolpath window take about 15sec to appear (witch is normal) during this period of time, if i click on the 'run' button( or somewhere else in this area) then mastercam crash.

 

Is anybody has an idea on how to fix that?

[k turk]

hmmmmm . . . . no bad mojo yet. you may be on to something.

 

thanks

Yes, practice some patience.

 

This is a known bug

[Slydman]

My computer manager was telling me, that kind of issue could be fixed inside mastercam core itself, so at the end, it's a mastercam minor bug.

So glad to read this thread. There are three user's where I am at having the same problem. Here are a couple of things I have noticed that helped keep this crash at bay:

 

1. Keep all windows (other programs/sessions) that you are running minimized, and better still if you can run MasterCAM and nothing else.

 

2. Take your time clicking your mouse. Speed kills (which is kind of a bummer!).

I rolled back before the Windows update. Been fine ever since.

[Porkbun]

yeah im finding out im a fast clicker and i get some crashes from it
