X4 MU1 delete Geo bug

[Thee Rickster ™]

I import my insert plate pattern.

 

I position it and delete the geo that I dont need.

(I import this geo for every job all the time)

 

1/2 or so of the geometry comes back and cant be

deleted. So I close all the level and the level

manager and they are gone. As soon as I do anything

that geometry re-appears. and so on.

 

Close MC and re-open and the geo is gone for good??

 

Any body else encounter this?

 

This ONLY started happening in X4 MU1!!

Sounds like a video bug to me....

[Glenn Bouman]

Try clicking on the Regen Display button the next time this happens.

Regenerate Display works for me, but I have the same problem. I also get the answer its a video problem. I have a high end nVidia card that is in the family that CNC recommends so it should not be a video card problem. There may be a setting somewhere in the thousand or so setting for the card that Mcam doesn't like, But without some help from CNC there is no way to know the exact best setup for Mastercam.

rsbeadle,

 

If "Regenerate Display works for" you, then it's not a graphics card issue...it's a bug in Mastercam. I'll admit it. It'll be fixed in the next update.

 

Rickster,

What type of file are you importing?Does "Regenerate Display List" clean it up for you?

[Thee Rickster ™]

Pete, its just a 2d rectangle plate pattern with

about 200 holes. I place it on my insert and delete

the circles I dont use.

 

Havent tried (regen display) yet I had to start a rush job

I'll get back to ya on it

 

thanks

I had the same problem working with AutoCad files when I installed the maintenance update. However, I didn't try the regen display. I uninstalled the update and the problem went away. A coworker of mine was having a similar problem when he moved the geometry. But, his problem was different in that the the geometry would disappear but all the drafting entities would remain. I uninstalled the update from his computer and again the problem went away. We're just going to run the original release for now, unless someone can tell what me the benefits are of the update. I didn't notice any major changes. - Jamie

I'm having the same problem. I delete and the geo sticks, I have to close the file, reopen and delete the geo again and it works. This also happens with xform translate. what a pain in the butt!!

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

Dan, did you try Screen/Regenerate? That should clear it up. If not, let me know.

 

And this should be cleaned up in the upcoming X4 Mu2.

Pete,

 

Any chance the installers downloaded from Mastercam's web site could be corrupted in transit? If there were MD5/SHA-1 hashes provided for the installers, I for one would most certainly check them before executing them.

I have the same problem. I didn't have it in X4 but now in MU1. I also find that I get random duplicate entities occasionally. I haven't been free enough to experiment what is causing it. Sometimes in MU1 I try to copy geo to another level. I go through the process and complete it, but the geo doesn't transfer. A regen doesn't help this one, only a restart. Haven't narrowed it down to when this is happening either. I'm sure that's of no help to anyone. I had several crashes on wed thur and friday when i was selecting and unselecting toolpaths in the toolpath manager. I have quite a few transform paths in the file. I just know I need to save and save alot because I can depend on the software to crash.

I have also had the deleting entities sticking around on a merged file. It seems to be intermittent. Screen/Regen is useless because as soon as you move (rotate/pan) with the mouse it is back. I usually save the file, click new file then reopen the one I was working on. I've also had the copy geo from one level to anther using copy in the level manager. Another fun one is Transfer/Copy and transfer to origin and had them do nothing.

I get those once in a while, but Screen Regen always gets rid of them.

[Jeremy Grigsby]

I was so mad at it yesterday. I just have to save after everything because it is so unstable. It's not a good program for a company that has to make quick changes to something. If your guy is running a program and you want to make changes to reload on the next part, it will let you down.
