Problem with verify

[TECHSERV]

Running Verify from the operations window used to show a green 3D solid. Now when I run verify, the graphic comes up 2D in a light blue. Is there a way to return to the old 3D graphic?

techserv,

could you give some more info to help us all out.

1)what version mc are you running

2)what are your settings at for verify

i am at 9.1 and have no problems right now

looking for more,

trevor

Hi,

Yes you can return to 3d view.

Set your part in Isometric View in the Main Graphics window before you open Ops Manager.

You can set your part to any view and thats how the part will come into Verify now. Once in Verify you can also change colors of the part and tools as well by going into parameters page of Verify (left most button on Verify Bar).

Thank you Iowa Jim,

This must be a feature of V9.1? It didn't seem to matter which view I was in before I upgraded to V9.1

[iowajim62]

Your welcome.

Yes that is new for 9.1 which after getting used to, is kinda cool

I agree iowajim62! The new verification engine in 9.1 rocks. I'll still get stl problems, but usually it's ok. That does need work, but MC keeps improving. Maybe because their huge memory gobbling files? Or their 'triangular facets' get crossed up?

 

Combined with backplotting [verify ON and OFF] I'm spoiled. I love it. Have you tried BobCAD's verify? yuk

I find it a lot better too. In lathe I can now verify with both custom tools and b-axis cuts for our INDEX G200:s. The only problem that I have seen is when I'm ramping. That problem seems to be both in lathe and mill.

Dan,

 

What kind of problems are you having with STL files?

Thad, I never did figure out what was causing the stl problem I was having. Don't know if I'm posting the link correctly but here goes.

I'd tried reading all the previous stl and graphics problem related posts but to to avail. Got the job out with no problem but never did figure out the stl issue.

I just found another problem with verify. If a contour cut is following a 5-axis cut the tool remains vectored for the contour cut. Any suggestions?

I'm using V9.1 (not SP1 yet) and i'm experiencing same problems with STL files. However it works (a little) better than with V9.0SP1.

 

More embarrassing I'm experiencing bugs in verify mod that weren't present in V9SP1:

 

- sometimes as i zoom, stock disappears and as i go back to Mcam main view my part lost its arcs entities (and others)!

 

- I've got now a graphic problem in verify mod: as i rotate stock model shade doesn't work very fine. It's green or black.

 

- Still have some bugs with tools compensation both in backplot and verify mod (however post output is correct)

 

- More important: verification sometimes DOESN'T work. Toolpaths or special tools geometry (i don't know exactly the cause) are not correctly displayed. Areas which should be machined (and they are in V9.0SP1) are not displayed in V9.1

 

Do these bugs are fixed with 9.1 SP1 ?

 

Yours sincerely.
