Whats this new warning in the Ops manager in X4?

Repaired NCI ?

 

 

 

Shown in posted code too.

I am getting this too. After I save a file and reopen it. I have been unlocking it and reginning and saving it and it opens fine.

[peon]

I noticed that after running "ram saver" as well as reopening. I'm wondering if it does that when "restoring nci file"

[DavidB]

I'm getting locked toolpaths and I have no idea why.

 

I'm also seeing new little icons on the toolpaths too that look like a ladder.

 

Some toolpaths I regen and nothing happens at all.

You're seeing the Multi-threading icon

Turn on the Multi-Threading Manager, you'll see they are crunching in the background

[DavidB]

No multi threading toolpaths here John.

 

I have HS scallop and old school scollap toolpaths that I hit regen and nothing happens.

I have a surface finish toolpath here that crashes MC 100% and I have sent it into QC.

 

Whats the Repaired NCI ?

[Leigh @ Kodiak]

I've been seeing the "repaired NCI" thing as well. as far as I have seen, it shows up after you try to regen a toolpath with no geometry associated with it. The "repaired NCI" is in the operation comments, and you can delete the comment, and "so far" everything seems fine.

 

The other problem I am seeing is that when you regen an op with no geometry, you get the usual "operation has no valid geometry" warning, but after you ok that message, the op shows as no longer being dirty, even though there is no toolpath generated.

[Beardog]

Mine happens when I open a file that was fine.

The geomitry is still thier in the toolpath. But it comes in locked and with the repair message on it.

[Tony35]

i get the same as beardog

Like John said, that is a multi-threaded toolpath. When you see the ladder, that's what's going on.

i got this last week after closing out for lunch and reopening after. then the next morning i lost a third of my operations and couldnt recover them.

 

happened again yesterday late in the day and was able to recover. this morning the file was fine.

[peon]

I submitted files per request of CNC. The developer is looking into the situation.

[Mark H]

Yeah I got this error too... I was thinking it was because I had an existing X3 file with toolpaths that I brought into X4, and then created new toolpaths in X4. This is just speculation on my part since I have not had any problems when starting fresh with X4.

[DavidB]

There is something strange in X4.

I come into today open a file from yesterday and I notice this,

 

Then I notice the REPAIRED NCI and locked toolpaths that where fine the day before?

 

[The Chipmaker]

I have seen the same thing! In the gcode it actually says "repaired nci" I thought we would have less issues with x4.

[dolphin1]

thats the nci repairing process.

[Greg Williams]

This issue gets a start here to.

[peon]

That's the same response I received from QC. Now hopefully, MC will "cure" the problem without any warnings or polluting my comment section. I sent them several files to review.

[Ray Culver]

Good catch boys, and the problem has been fixed. You'll see it in the X4-MU1 release.

 

The bug: A couple toolpath filter functions (arc & point distribution) were introducing an extra start-of-section record when the filters were applied. This was not a critical error as the NCI is checked and corrected for this during a file-get, but anything screwy with the NCI has a potential of causing problems farther downstream.

 

Also, some performance improvements were made with the speed of the filters.

 

Oh yeah, it's faster.

[Thee Rickster ™]

We are all Beta testers

[thanhsonnguyen]

i'm have same prolem too, but part run ok

[Brian B 74]

I am getting the same problem here but now my question is - When is X4-MU1 coming out? December? So those of us who are getting this error have to deal with it until then?

[DavidB]

A quick re-visit

Here is a pic the "LADDER" I get in High speed machining.

Finally I can prove its NOT a thread toolpath.

 

[peon]

David, that is the multithread icon. I don't see anything wrong with your pic.

Um it's in a High speed surface toolpath!

 

Like I've said I don't have any multi thread toolpaths but I get this ladder in "High Speed" toolpaths when they wont regen!
