X4 MU1 Verify

[malibu]

had to unistall, all this time waiting and now

I can't use x4mr1 .shame on you cnc

[neil qwerty]

It's ok on my machine but not on my co-workers. He is running

 

XP32 bit SP2, Nvidia quadro 4 900.

 

Latest drivers didn't help, disable hardware acceleration unchecked.

[Code_Breaker]

gcode,

 

I did everything on your list (max performance is really "best performace" correct?), except WinPro SP3 ...

 

but on large files (80MB) still the front faces only are black, rest of stock is grey ... smaller files OK

 

also, on this file, when saving to STL, if "remove chip" is checked, I cannot "pick to keep one" ... files is 0k, when unchecked, the file is 13MB ...

 

PS ... one of my workers is using X3 mu1 and it does it on his was well ... original file created in X3 MU1 ... could this be associated?

 

PPS ... also does this on Win Vista with 64 bits Quatro FX 4800

I just hope we don't have to wait till X5 to get

a fix for this and any others that MAY show up.

 

That could take 6 to 8 months

CNC Software is way smarter than that. No way, are they going to let these bugs go that long. They'll start losing market share if that happens.

 

I've got a lot of faith in some of those guys up there. And I really appreciate the one on one help provided by Chris Bell in particular.

I agree with this entire statement, especially the one on one support, and hope they go against their (anti 'SP'),MU protocol and get out FREE bug fixes soon

 

So lets see what happens then. Will we see an

SP1 for X4 MU1 or not.

Done,

Thanks Chris.

[neil qwerty]

Done.

Maybe we'll get a free one-year version of Vericut!!

Can someone recommend a notebook/laptop that will

work with x4mu1 verify.

[The_Evil_Machinist]

macbook pro

I run a Dell M90 here at work with absolutely no issues with Verify.

 

It has an Nvidia FX 2500M card.

[SydwazShawn]

I had the same problems. I uploaded new drivers for my 3D Connexion, and my video card. I also went to my computer properties/advanced/ performance, and set to, adjust for best performance. It seems to have fixed it.

[Scott Lundin Shopware Inc.]

Here are some settings I used on my laptop to fix the verify black out. The laptop is a Dell Lattitude D820 with a Nvidia NVS 120M. (I can hear you laughing). XP-Pro/SP3. I finally got it to display a little better during geometry creation and display verify without blacking out. My settings are shown below. Most have been mentioned before. I found one setting that had not been mentioned before. I had my mouse trails turned on and it was causing problems with auto highlighting when selecting geometry. I also deleted my mcamx.config file and let Mastercam regenerate a new one. I did not update my video drivers because the drivers from nvidia are not compatible with my Dell laptop, they won’t install.

 

Please note that these same settings do not work on my Dell Vostro 420s with ATI Radeon 3450 cards in the classroom. I need hardware disabled to see arrowheads when changing normals, but verify blacks out. If I enable hardware verify works properly, but then I can’t see arrowheads when changing normals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hope this helps some of you with Nvidia NVS cards. Still can't get my ATI Radeons to work.

 

Here is one more for Chris B.

Wow! nice post, scott.

 

That is exactly how I have my computer setup. My verify is still real dark but managable. And ever since downloading the latest driver I have a drift issue with dynamic rotate in verify, no where else, just in verify.

 

I have been working around the dark issue by changing my lighting every time I verify and changing it back when I'm done so that I can see my shaded solids outside of verify. It's a pain in the butt but it works.

[gcode]

I have "disable front buffer" checked on the Screen page on my Quadro machines

I don't think that has any effect on GeForce cards.

I don't know what I would do with a Quadro NVS card.

[JOHNKAM43]

Go to Configuration, Shading, Spotlights and turn on only the 4 even lights (2,4,6,8). Set them to lightbulb at 40% intensity. That will make verify look ok. The regular screen display will be too bright so set Ambient light (lower middle of Shading screen to 0%. That worked for me.

I don't do that on Quadro boxen and they've always worked just fine.

I think this setting s left over from early X days. I just do it out of habit now.

I'm pretty sure X3 and X4 disable the front buffer

automatically during launch

[peon]

Hmmm, I've ALWAYS had to have the front buffer disabled on the Quadro AND GeForce cards to prevent video problems.
