Verify is not showing stock

[wfcPain]

I cannot get the verify stock to be correct.

It keep loading a saved stl file from a month ago,so i deleted the old stl file.

 

I changed config/verify interface/initial size/"stock setup"

Now it loads a tombstone shape instaed of the cylinder in stock setup.

 

My workaround use to be this....

I open another mcx file and run verify ,then switch back,and the stock would be correct.

 

Now, it wont show a cylinder shape in the z axis ,no matter what i try.

Try these settings

[wfcPain]

Thanks but still got tombstone.

.... i've been trying differnt shapes and restarting the computer.

no luck so far.

Did you perhaps go into your Op defaults and set a stock in there?

[wfcPain]

Yep, i set it as cylinder in z axis,i also have the same in machine group properties.

It will only show a cylinder in the x axis, sometimes with a tombstone.

[wfcPain]

ok i saved my settings in op defaults,hit green checkmark,yes to save

but...........

 

as soon as i run verify it switches back to different settings

if i dont run verif it stays ...

 

 

i wish i could record this somehow

[within a thou]

ok it does save my settings in op defaults ,even though i hit the green checkmark and choose yes to save.

but...........

 

as soon as i run verify it switches back to the a axis settings

if i dont run verif it stays in z axis...

 

 

i wish i could record this somehow

 

 

Download Jing its a free screen recording software you can use to upload the a video of your screen to a url.

here it is

[Tony35]

will it work if you change it in your verify options not config?

nope, maybe i need to delete my config and let mc rewrite it...grasping at straws here

[Guest]

If you go into My documents >> my mcam X5 >> config

 

if you right click on the mcamx.config file and go to properties

 

Is yours set to "Read Only?"

[Tony35]

did it work before you deleted the old stl

[wfcPain]

If you go into My documents >> my mcam X5 >> config

 

if you right click on the mcamx.config file and go to properties

 

Is yours set to "Read Only?"

 

Yes, read only

[Guest]

Try unchecking that

 

That would be why config setting changes don't stick

[wfcPain]

did it work before you deleted the old stl

 

hit and miss. Sometimes i would have to open a different file, run verify,switch back to my file and it would work.

I would do this as a workaround.

 

Its never been flawless..... for me.

[wfcPain]

Try unchecking that

hmmm

 

I unchecked read only,hit apply.... verify didnt change.

So..i went back to change the read only setting and it was checked as read only.

I have admin rights but,it changed back to being checked "read only" for some reason.

 

I guess i need my it guy.

[wfcPain]

IT guy says "read only" is normal ,verify doesnt change the settings in mcamx.config

 

I've tried using a .stl file as stock. It only shows a cylinder in a axis,no matter what i change.

Sounds like something you may need to involve your reseller with.

 

I'd do a netview with one of our customers and see about fixing it.

 

But descriptions on the net are likely missing something somewhere else..

[tom160]

Have you looked at the machine group,stock setup,then stock view?

[gcode]

IT guy says "read only" is normal ,

IT guy is wrong... if you can't write to your config file, you can't edit your settings

[gcode]

you should have your IT guys talk to your Mastercam support people about file permissions..

I think your computer is locked down too tight and you do not have write permissions to all the neccessary files

[Steven Gingras]

when you go into verify, click on options and change to cylinder

[wfcPain]

IT guy is wrong... if you can't write to your config file, you can't edit your settings

 

I can write to config.Even though its "read only"

 

Any way ,I got it to work.....

 

There are 3 places to set your verify settings.

One overwrites the other.This is shown in my video above.

 

Turns out, the "verify options" in verify, trumps them all.

 

IMO they should reduce the number of places to set verify stock to one.

My reseller agrees and sent it in to cnc.

 

Thanks to all.

IMO they should reduce the number of places to set verify stock to one things in general.
