Toolpath Group question

[Greg_J]

Why when I post programs does closed toolpath groups open?

No idea, maybe its searching for more

ops with the same name.

 

 

PEACE

[Greg_J]

Does it happen to anyone else?

[Hardmill]

Never really paid attention, but I usually like

to post everything when Im done with the project.

Unfortunately the machine I run the controller is so old it will only hold one program at a time.

Yes ! Please submit this to QC if it bothers you. I've been whining about many Ops Manager issues for a long time and would love to see it overhauled.

[3R!< W3NG3R]

Yes, it annoys the heck out of me too.

IMO, it needs an overhaul.

Yes, it happens here. Occasionally a toolpath

randomly shows it self when showing a path from a different group also.

 

Does any on else get a warning when creating a

machine group then a toolgroup. I hit the last 'ok'

then it says 'cannot find....XXXXX.stl'????

 

I never use stl,s, I never make stl's, yet I have

to reselect my machine def right after I just

made the group, otherwise it does it for every

path I create after that as well.

occasionally It has a different warning, cant find

5 axis....???? also.

 

I will screen capture it nest time.

 

very annoying

Yes it happens every time. But....if I was to guess why it does it....it's so you can see which ops are actually being posted. I find advantageous to see which ops are selected, because we often have multiple program names posted out of one toolpath group, and sometimes I forget to edit the NC file name.

[Greg_J]

Thanks, at least I know it's not just me.

 

It also happens when I open a file as well.

 

I'm also having a issue with backplot, the tool path colour it changes often it's the same colour as the part so I can't see it that well. Any ideas what that is? I haven't changed any settings to make this happen it use to just be one colour that was set under colours in the backplot options.

Yesterday I had my model green and the toolpaths kept coming up green, today I change it orange now I'm getting orange.
