Transform

[Simoneau]

Has any one else had a problem with the transform?

It seems the if you have one in your operations manager and you have multiple toolpath also in the manager, that when you change one tool (say stock to leave), all the tools then get marked as dirty. This only happend if multiple operation have been picked within transform.

Just a guess:

 

Changing a toolpath makes it dirty -

 

The transform operation it's associated with becomes dirty -

 

The other operations associated with the transform operation become dirty

 

Seen it happen before.

 

What really sucks is when you change the comment on a HST and it becomes dirty. Then you have to regen it...... some take a long time.

Hi,

I ran into this yesterday. You can either copy your tp you want to change and then delete the original tp and add the copied one to your transformed ones after you make your changes or delete your transform make your changes and then do the transform again.

Good Luck

I am running X4 and this didnt seem to happen before. Before when you changed a operation, only that operation and the transform toolpath would be marked dirty. Not all the tool paths. It is pretty frustrating when you have big, time consuming toolpaths that now need to be regenerated also.

Lock the toolpaths then you will not have that problem.

Then my next question is this a know bug? or now is this just something that you have to do?

'bump'

I sent this in .. it is bug numberh as been logged as bug number cnc00058153.

 

Hope this helps...

 

I have been told X4 Mu1 already fixes this.

Sometimes I dont change anything in a cut, just open it and look at it and my transform becomes dirty. Im learning to accept it. This is usually followed by some 4 letter explitives. Then I feel better.

Any time frame on Mu1, I will not install any mastercam till its first maintance release, something about my boss not wanting us to be guinee pigs anymore! I hope soon the new version of solid works is getting installed soon!
