I have had it with this one.

 

I put up with it in X5 and it is also in X6 too...

.

I copy a tool from one group to another in the ops man by right click drag and drop(copy before)

 

Every time I go to change the tool number(From 1 to 13) in this case, , the Holder(was 1.00) and the Holder Dia.(was at 2.0)

Both MAGICALLY change to '0.0'. you can't change the tool number until you put them back to '1.0' and '2.0'

 

PITA to say the least. BTW I send in every one of the bugs I post here.

Take a look at the real issues. We all have to make a living using this software. version after version the old bugs are there. They throw out (enhancements to stir up new customers) which to me is hi

Changing the feedrate is causing toolpaths to go dirty again!! Does this whether you change it in the toolpath parameters or "edit common parameters". And, it will take forever to regenerate the

Unreal Rick! I have to make changes to tool numbers now and then. Usually have to do it when I have to switch programs to a different machine. But I feel for ya man. It shouldn't be this difficult!

 

 

Thats the thing.. Changing tool numbers shouldnt be difficult at all. It bums me out when it takes me an hour to move a job from one machine to another because I am chasing tool numbers/height/diameter numbers in 100 operations. :(

 

I just wanted to add.. I had my first crash in five years while using solidworks yesterday. ;)

I hope you have the toolist at the top of your posted program so you can double check. I have found errors that way now and then regarding the tools.

Something like what happened to Rickster happened to me the other day in X5. I had to renumber all the tools for a program, so i just did it all thru tool manager, then posted out the program and sent it to the machine. 10 minutes later the operator comes in and asks me if I had intentionally made the 2" facemill run at 10 ipm and the 1/8 endmill feed at 50 ipm. What the.. ????

I go in and check all the toolpaths, and all the feedrates were all screwed up in 1/2 the toolpaths.

That was very much NOT amusing.

And another good one :thumbdown::thumbdown:

 

note I have 2 tapermills. I edit the T20 to T21 and say create new tool but in the operation the new T21 dosnt show up

 

Yeah, I get that one all the time. I usually have to physically go into the paramters, reselect my tool, then recalculate the whole thing. Royal pain in the behind it is.

I wonder if they have a expiration.The bugs i've turned in for x4,x5 are still in X6.

Do i need to resend in the cnc numbers,files etc..

 

 

My understanding at least is severity and frequency are supposedly the biggest defining parameters.

 

Thus, when people ask on the forum if something is a bug it never gets submitted by that asking person and any other that may find it.

 

I "think" this could actually lead to the reported frequency of bugs to CNC being lower on some bugs than perhaps it should.

 

Just thinking out loud

 

If it's broke, it should be fixed. I understand the time, some bugs getting it sooner than others but some longtime ones deserve some love at some point too. It seems some just linger too long

here is one that ive run in to a couple of times now and wasnt sure that it was a bug until today.

 

2d high speed dynamic contour mill

 

 

 

You could use open contours in X5 but for some reason it does not seem to work in X6.

 

Ive tried to create a new operation in x6 from scratch and it was a no-go. So now i opened a file that I knew that I had used it in X5. I can see the tool path on the screen. I try to regen the operation and it bombs.

 

I didnt change anything. I just opened an X5 file in X6, selected the operation, and tried to regen. I went back and opened the file in X5 and it regen'd just fine.

 

:(

 

Something that worked in X5 now broken in X6.
