How many time have you crashed today?

[Thee Rickster ™]

Moved, chaining widow out of the way, as to select a chain, but

froze solid while dragging it, hard reboot was the only cure.

[Guest]

and can you repeat that same thing?

[Thee Rickster ™]

I'll let you know.

 

I don't think I will have the exact same scenario thou.

 

I create curves through two sets of multiple compound angle surfaces.

 

I was using the 'u' shaped, multiple splines as the trimming chain and keeping both sides,

that worked, i hit the plus sign to do it again, selected the surfaces,check, chain window

came up and then the freeze as stated above.

 

I did have Mc open for awhile created a funky runner, part line and drafted slide seal off.

 

After I rebooted I was able to do it with out a hitch. I think my cache was peaking, seems typicle

because earlier Project to surface wouldn't work, (happens alot) and a simple close and restart

fixed it as usual.

 

I was trimming the orange seal off to the runner

 

 

I had saved just prior so I did not lose more than a few minutes.

renaming toolpath group.

 

But i don't blame the software. I'm sure I need more gigglebites and ram or something.

I might be able to make Mcam crash to desktop every time.

 

Crunch a 5 axis toolpath and while its working, hit the little red x in the top of the status box not the bottom one.

Splines.... eeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!!!!

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I've just never liked doing anythign with splines. Crunch time is always longer to do anything, be it toolpath generation or entity creation.

hi guys

cruch mastercam X6 MU1?, no problema:

toolpath, multiaxis-> curve 5 axis

select tool

select holder

cut patern->3D curves->select->chain

tool axis control->chain->select->chain

colision control->on selected curve

linking-> whatever

roughing-BOOM!!!-YOU ARE OUT

 

selekting parameters in order from top to bottom

as logical way is not what you expect

btw, mastercam X4 and X5 is O.K.

if you can create a step by step proceedure that will crash X6MU1, you should send a file

and step by step instructions to [email protected]

yea, i know, but i do not have internet on my mastercam workstation

MC'c only option, is to get an edge curve

from the edge of a surface. Rarely they are

arcs. Someday they will make geo creation

off surface edges better, I have faith, for

Now SC. Is flawless.

 

Continuous spline ( 1entity ) should not

be an issue with surface creation.

 

Ah well it is what it is.

 

 

Second crash today. Once just did a core dump with segmented fault.

 

The other just crashed icon still sitting there, gonna force me to reboot.

 

 

Dam I hate Solaris...

 

 

Wait a minute......

 

Duh......and I was only modeling...

 

I was drawing a spline though.

 

Hell my DROID crcrashed 4 times already today. I already did a factory reset. I am not being sarcastic. Swear... true it is! I would probably be crashing Mastercam if I was using it today....

Crashed once today in Lathe Verify. It was right after I made some changes to a rough/finish OD Chain.

 

Profiling a spherical radius part. I did not have the line tangent to the sphere. I originally drew a new line from the chamfer to the sphere trimmed it up, deleted the old line, then regenned it. Somethign didn't seem quite right but I tried verifying it anyway. No bueno. So I opened it back up, edited the line in question, changed the endpoint of the line to be tangent, trimmed it up. Worked like I expected.

 

Guess I messed up somewhere along the line.

I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to be so OCD about hating on something every waking moment of every day and that I have absolutely no control over what I'm hating on.

I was working with my reseller with MC crashing on Verify I noticed the mem would go from under 2GB to 4.5gb+ on a simple 1 min verify. He suggested the video driver so I installed the new Quadro driver (296.88) and now I can get through a Verify. The previous Quadro driver (296.70) apparently has something that Mastercam doesn’t like. What really sucks is I usually test after updating but I missed this one. :wallbash:

9 today. Wish I could say it's a personal record.

G,

What files do you keep locally and what do you keep on the server?

[Newbeeee™]

1st one for a g e s.

And 1st in X7 so no longer a virgin

[Newbeeee™]

and another today - hopefully NOT the sign of things to come...

In UBVS backplot, paused, opened the settings to change a colour (still configuring as early days) and white hazy screen 'mastercam not responding'.

Good job I'd saved before hitting backplot.
