Filter error

[Greg_J]

Has anyone get a posting error while using the filter? If I post with out the filter no problem if I post with it on it gives me a error, and last night it didn't give me an error it just posted a messed up program.

 

I am making a surface finish contour program in side a bore I am cutting a bottom rad and and a fillet the leads into a smaller hole. The program looks good but it keeps giving an error.

Actually this is beyond a filter error it only showed up when I posted that program.

 

I can't post any programs, at all.

 

I changed posts and machine def, I also reloaded the original file and inported the programs in and it's still no good. I also repaired using the MU1 installer.

 

But my other machine will work but the controler is different.

 

Here is the error report.

X4's new filtering is being bragged about by our reseller. Do any of the beta testers know if it works properly?

[Greg_J]

I noticed things like my toolbars are messed up they would change when I would open a new session, alot of my default settings are missing as well.

Yes we do but we can't tell you or we'd have to kill you

Greg I hope you keep a copy of these folder backed

up.

 

cnc_machines

config

mill

 

If not I suggest you do.

(I burn to disc and copy to flash drive)

 

also re back up config when ever you change

a setting.

 

If you reinstall of format a hard drive, you ust

replace these folders after install the same version and all is good

Greg. I had a similiar problem with a 64-bit machine, but only the 64-bit machine in the shop. I inserted my original X3 disc and selected the repair button. Worked fine after that. After about a month it started acting funny again and had to repair the install again.

[Greg_J]

Will running the disk wipe out the MU1 update?

[Guest]

Greg,

 

You'll have to remove the MU1 update, do the repair and then reapply the MU1 update

[Greg_J]

Sungwoo at Caledonian CADCAM gave me a hand and fixed the problem.

 

In the Machine def manager the folder for my postprocessor was changed, I normally have it on a network and it was switched to the local drive.

 

Finding out how it got changed is the next problem.

 

Thanks Sungwoo.

If the network is not available for some reason (could even be windows just didn't find it yet) then MC automatically changes the path to the local drive.

 

I have this problem when using a MD on a machine that is turned off, but the posting path goes to that machine.

I'm having an issue where it is cutting into my workpiece. The verify is fine but when it is posted to the machine the lead in doesn't match the verify. Even with lead in lead out disabled it still cuts in
