problem with chaining

[CNC-ERIC]

Hi, guys,

Have you ever met this problem that you can not chain some geo., but when you turn off MC and run it again, it is ok.

 

what is the problem? is this a bug?

 

thanks

I´ve seen something similar. Ram- saver usually helps.

I believe this is caused by your undo buffer becoming full. Sometimes this happens after

rotating or translating a large number of enities.

Restarting Mastercam fixes it.

[Joe McCollough from CNC Software]

There is no concept of the undo buffer filling up. There are limits on how big the undo buffer will get that you can set in configuration. When it hits the limit it will bump items off the bottom of the list to make room for new undo items.

 

If you are actually running out of memory trying to run some process, exiting Mastercam and restarting will defintely clean up memory usage, including the space used for undo. As an alternative to exiting you could go into config and either turn undo off or lower the limit for how much space undo will use.
