RULED SURFACE ERROR MESSAGE

[Francis Chung]

While working on the tutorial on Ruled surfaces I got this error message.

"Warning - Inconsistent number of syncs" What does it mean and what do I do to correct it.

Before you select the contour1 for the ruled surface select Sync and change it to None

[cadcam]

all so check the surface normals some times that will fix it...

or is that on error they dont form a row.. may be its that one sorry..

I keep getting this error on a loft I am trying to do; "Warning - Inconsistent number of syncs"

How do I do to correct it?

If the top chain has less segments than the bottom chain, you see this message.

 

Sync Chain.zip

The Top one won't work because of the extra point

When your chaining interface open click on the "options" (looks like a gear). Then make sure the "Sync Mode" is set to none. After that you may have to break one side of the bottom chain.

If you post a file I can make you a video of how to do it.

This is an older video of how to break the lower edge to create the loft.

Unbelievable!. Guys.....can someone tell me how the heck is somebody supposed to know this?? The option is soooooooooooooooo far buried in Mastercam that it is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to know this. ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. Just like most of the multiaxis toolpaths.....impossible to learn. So many little switches and radio buttons  and drop down menus that have ZERO LOGIC behind them but when you hit the wall and you reach out to tech support they either have a completely different way to perform the toolpath or some stupid switch they turned on that would take you the better part of a week to figure out.

For example...I reached out to Mastercam to help me with an impeller. The geometry was very similar to all of the Multiaxis lessons available from Mastercam and In-house. I couldn't get the toolpath that was used pretty much on every impeller in the lessons to work for me. The guy comes back with smooth toolpaths that will blow your mind and he did not use ANY of the toolpaths mentioned in the tutorials. I went back to him and asked him why the toolpath did not work and guess what......he couldn't answer me. I had to take his solution and walk. Did I learn why the toolpath wasn't working for me?? NO. This is the reason why I still struggle with multiaxis Toolpaths because every time they fix the toolpath they cannot explain the logic behind the fix. 

So let me say something to the developers.......Software needs to be built with logic. If you miss the logic behind it, nobody can learn it. PERIOD. It's that simple. So the next time you want to place a new radio button or add an option in the drop down menu ask yourself this.....if someone encounters an issue and the fix is a click of a radio button, is the option a logical solution? Does someone have that "lightbulb" moment and say "ooooh yeah...I get it...that makes sense" when they click the radio button?

Developers....Get your head out of the coolant.....stop pretending that everybody knows what you know and build logic into the toolpaths. $30,000 software and zero logic. Pathetic. I would fire the entire developer team. No-kidding. Enough is enough.

...Incoherent Rant...

You revived a 3 year old thread for that?   

 

I wish I had as much spare time as you do....
