Level copy or move

[gary adams]

I often go to move or copy geometry to another level and it doent work. I then shut down mastercam after saving the file and start up again, it then works for a few times.

Thanks for any help.

Seems to work on and off to me. I have not seen it happen in a while. Dont know if thats because i have not been using it as much or what.

 

check this thread

I've had the same problem, it happened as recently as last week.

Its just another one of those things like the use last in verify and highlighting that seems like an easy fix but gets overlooked.

Guys,

 

I just stumbled across this thread and the one linked to it... We are working on some Level Manager improvements for X4 right now so we have a programmer in the code and working on it.

 

The problem can only be fixed IF we can make it happen it here. What we need are some clues as how to duplicate it.

 

Can anyone give me a sequence of steps that duplicate the problem on a regular basis?

[John13]

unfortunately, I can not duplicate it. It happens so rarely, I don't think about it.

 

 

It may happen because I work super fast and the software can't keep up with my brain

I used to get this after tranlating or rotating

a large number of enities or really large solids.

It acted like the undo buffer was taking up all the system resourses. Only a Mastercam resart would fix it.

 

I've got my undo buffer turned down to 10 meg now

and don't have this probelm. I'm also running the

latest X3 beta and they may have already solved it.

sequence of steps:

 

change level and it works

 

change level and it doesn't work

 

change level and it works

 

change level and it works

 

change level and it works

 

change level and it doesn't work

 

change level and it works

 

change level and it works

 

change level and it doesn't work......turn pc off and go home frustrated.

 

Wish i knew what makes it work and what makes it not work.

 

When it happens the only way i know how to fix it is to reopen.

 

If someone is working on the code it seems like they would have more of a clue

 

wish i could help.

After reading gcodes reasoning,

 

I may have scaled a large number of entities and then tried changing levels. I'll try later today on my next part and see what happens.

 

I'll try to remember what I was working on when it happened last week and try it again.

I'm running it too and it happened last week

Now that i think about it. It seems to only happen on larger files with solids or surfaces.

I'm especially curious about Gcode setting his Undo buffer size lower...
