V8.1.1 Verify Problems

[chad fisher]

I am running ver8.1.1 and i am having problems with the verification on all the contouring, pocketing,

and surfacing, ect. It will show drilling alright, but otherwise it might show constant gouging of a part or

it will show nothing at all. I never had this problem until out reseller gave us the latest update disc, it was fine

on 8.1, I know the tool path is correct because of using backplot. Any ideas would greatly be

appreciated. Thanks, Chad Fisher

Chad did they do an update or did they give you a 8.1.1 disk so you could do a freash install?

 

And you could save your config file to bring it back in.

I un-installed 8.1 and installed 8.1.1 , also i put it on a new employees computer and it is doing the same thing. I had called the reseller but he has not got back with me on the matter. Thanks

Check the "Z" settings in stock definition.

I am 99.99999 % sure it is not a value error in the set up of the verify, i think it is more of a software/computer issue. I am curious to see if anyone else had run into this.

[cadcam]

Chad if you send me the file all the setting are there in the MC8 file so when I try to varify we will see if it does the same thing here.

 

Just a thought.

Chad, I have emailed back to.

I sent you your file with stock defind.

And a link to a picture showing my findings before stock being definded.

 

Here is the Picture of the findings before.

I saw what you had done with stock defined, I have tried this and also used job set-up to define the material but it will not run some operations. I know the older disc we have works so i think i am going to dump 8.1.1 and go back to 8.1 and just download the up dates from this site. The odd thing is that it does it my computer and on another one that i had just installed it on. Our other computers here that still have 8.1 on them go through the verify with no problems. Oh well, I do appreciate the help, Thanks, Chad

[cadcam]

Chad I suggest not going back words it is working fine here with 8.1.1.If you have other files please send.

 

I would like to help to figure out what is happening.

Do you have high speed at your desk on the computer you are doing this with?

 

I have another option to try it on your computer.

[chad fisher]

I'm open to suggestions! What are you rerferring to as highspeed? We are T1 here if that is what you are asking? Thanks, Chad

I have had problems in verify if the "cutter compensation in control" is checked on in the verify configuration settings. Runs fine when checked off.

[cadcam]

Hi chad I can share my screen as we talk on the phone and we could go over your files togeather if you would like.

[chad fisher]

N FRANCO "You are the Man"! You were right i unchecked that and things work fine, in older versions in mastercam i think it would come up with constant errors saying cutter comp not succesful so in that case i new to uncheck it but that was long ago, so i guess i can be called the dork of day for thinking it was a software issue. I would like to thank Cadcam for trying to help me out on this i appreciate the help folks! Thanks, Chad

[Slixmix]

Right on. Glad I can help you out but I still don't understand why that happens. Maybe someone could shed some light on to why that happens. Have a good day.
