Old bugs back again. Thanks alot CNC!

[Thee Rickster ™]

As JP said they need t be bombarded with the same bug to get it

Fixed in a severity or high priority.

 

That is why I send them directly to QC and my re seller

AND post here so any one else who has encountered the

Same bug and send in the same info, on the same bug, that

Ppl post here so CNCmight actually increase our productivity and

fix all these bugs.

[Thee Rickster ™]

These bugs , some ppl say, " that happened to me 3 times today "

Well They all happen to me EVERY TIME I use them!

 

So ad it up, 5 different bugs , 3 or 4 times a day, every day,

Some cost me 1 minute to 10 minutes down time per bug...... They all need

Fixing, or am I way off base here?

[Newbeeee™]

...... They all need

Fixing, or am I way off base here?

Rick - You're 100% correct in my opinion.

I think the biggest problem here is that CNC doesn't 'own' this forum. We very rarely talk to our reseller about problems, because all info and solutions can be found here.

So why would we bother our dealer when they're busy and the answers (or workarounds) are here?

We (users) are all directed here by our resellers, so we must asume this place has cnc's blessing.

But cnc only rarely comment on things.

 

It's like the enhancement forum - I feel it's a waste of time really as some of the guys in QC don't even have access to it (or even this site). I found this out when I sent in some enhancement requests, but I had assumed that as the suggestions were already in the enhancement forum, then CNC would be treating these already as enhancement requests.

 

And as this site is so big with so much info, I really feel the horse has bolted if cnc really want to build their own site for this kind of thing.

[MIL-TFP-41]

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.

 

If CNC is not constantly monitoring this forum for threads like this then they are complete MORONS for ignoring the most valuable resource they have for getting feedback from their user base. In fact, I can't believe they are not reading....doesn't this site also host the beta forum???? Or are they blind to us mere non-testers?

[Thee Rickster ™]

the most valuable resource

 

IS [email protected]

 

I Email both CNC and In-house the bug and In-house recreates it for me and resends in the info to

to confirm my Bug so I can continue working with less delays.

 

They resubmit them once they recreate them.

 

It's like the enhancement forum

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome...

...waste time....

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome...

 

in other words...

 

 

...waste time....

 

[Izzzy]

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome... Is What CNC needs to do.

Get out of their comfort zone.

[neurosis]

Will anything change? Highly unlikely. History has a way of repeating itself.

 

 

I keep hearing rumors that they are pushing for X7 to release some time this summer. Is sounds to me like meeting this release cycle is more important to them than taking care of these issues.

 

If X7 is anywhere near as bad as X6 has been I fear that there will be Armageddon!

Well I would think the hope is that if X7 was released this summer it would address all the outstanding issues, rather than just release a maintenance pack but still have the stigma of "X6 was a disaster" attached to it.

[Thee Rickster ™]

The Sh!tty part is look how long we are waiting for a Bug Patch!

 

So now if a Bug patch does not come out for X6...We geta buggy X7. By next Xmas we may see a

Bug patch for 7. ????

 

I LOSE A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR A DAY OF WORKAROUNDS AND REBOOTING/RESTARTING!

X5 and X6

 

How many days till Xmas?

 

Maybe they can add an enhancement that tally's all the time lost, so you can

present that to your boss and see if it would pay for another software to add to our arsenal!

 

X6 is just X3²

[Mr. Wizzard]

My X6 install DVD's box just showed up in the mail.

 

I took out the new mouse pad, left the rest inside, and put the box away.

 

I never, never, never install a new release until the bug b!tching calms down. It doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon.

 

I do want to thank those of you who have spoken up on the issues plaguing this release. I'm sorry for the frustrations you face, but thank you for helping others avoid the same headaches. For whatever "breakthroughs" CNC has hyped up on this version, it's not worth the downtime for the programming I do. I'm doing just fine with X5 MU1, and don't need any hiccups.

 

Right now, i only have to watch for tool numbers changing and height offsets not matching. I'll stick with just that problem.

Those are still some pretty significant problems that can cause a whole lot of grief if your not careful.

Completely unacceptable for the self proclaimed leader in the CAM industry.

[Mr. Wizzard]

THe Haas alarm "H and T numbers not matching" has saved my a$$ a dozen times!!!

[mayday]

Just got burned on auto incrementing work offsets. Got in a rush with a 5 axis job and sure enough, peice a sh!t X sicks

 

maintanence is nearing it's end

[Mr. Wizzard]

Of all the defaults available, why can't we default "offset #" to 0, not -1?

[Thee Rickster ™]

Thats nothing man!

 

I use Minimum distance check the 'Output feed move' and place 500. as a value

 

to replace the very common 10,000. that is in there by default

 

because

 

I changed it my control def in the "high speed tool paths" BUT!!!!

Like so many other things, THAT JUST WONT STICK!!!! This one DOES STICK!!

 

But just doesen't work!

 

just adding more wasted time to the equation.

 

Maybe I'll get a bonus at the end of the year, for knowing how much time I waste daily???

 

 

[Thee Rickster ™]

Maybe its this new thing in X6 that just started happening the other day???!!!???

 

.

.

Maybe MC put a ghosted image of a different .MMD and control.def somewhere on my

p.c. and is reading those ones instead of

 

THE ONLY ONES I HAVE HAVE EVER USED!

 

I am regretting installing and using X6 every day now!

[MES]

Incredible, when try to use macros in X6 64 bits W7, MC show this message:

 

Macros are unavailable

 

Due to UAC (User Access Control) restrictions, macros are not available on Vista and Windows 7 systems.

 

but it work fine in X5 and W7, the same pc, any idea about that.

[Thee Rickster ™]

any idea about that.

 

yeah, send that info to [email protected] and ask for them to fix it in the upcoming Mu1 or Sp1 fix update that

may come out soon

[Thee Rickster ™]

I copy a scallop path and it is a finisher with 0 stock left on surfaces

I just reselect the containment bnd and the stock to leave on wall and floors

switch to .05????

 

It only seems t happen the first time you copy the path or import it.???

 

happened yesterday and Monday to me, I have never punch in .05 in those fields ever.

highest i enter is .03

 

yet another magical wonder of X6

That is the same problem I had with all of the Surface HST toolpaths.

I changed the stock to leave in the defaults to zero. I thinks this is helping.

[peon]

My defaults are set to zero, but I still have .05 in the stock to leave box now and then.
