1 Op NOT posting

[DavidB]

I have a Contour Ramp toolpath that will not post.

I have tried posting with the group and seperatly, but it just wont post

 

Any ideas why not?

 

Thanks

Did you select all ops> edit common parameters > change NC file name, make the file name the same for all?

 

That one gets me a lot of times.

Yes

It will not post even if I try post it by itself.

David,

 

Can you change something, make it go dirty and then regen it?

I shut my PC down and reopened the MC file.

Then I select the group and posted it. It goes to the editor but there is nothing there. It does not even make a NC file to where the NC file is mapped too.

 

I then deleted the machine groups after this machine group and it now posts great.

 

 

I have been seeing some really weird stuff when I have more than 1 machine def in a MC file.

And this seems like another example of weird things happening with more than 1 machine def in a MC file.

 

Disapointing

I have all setups/operations in separate machine groups all the time and never seen that one

David,

 

Mastercam loads a copy of the Machine Definition and Control Definition into your Mastercam .MCX file.

 

I have seen these "file" copies get corrupted time and time again.

 

Next time you have a problem, do a "replace" on every machine file that you have loaded into your your operations manager. Doing this, more often than not, fixes a whole host of problems.

 

I do this out of habit, EVERY time I open a file that I've been working on before.

 

It's great insurance.

 

HTH,

[DavidB]

Thanks Colin I'll give that ago, more work arounds
