X6 MU2

[Newbeeee™]

it cuts on the opposite side and does not add the lead in/out, broke. just use wear and put a note in the program to use zero for a cutter dia. offset and then you can adjust the dia to meet the chamfer accordingly.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Booger! We have our post force the rad of the tool output with a G10 at the start of the tool...means we have to remember to set this to 0.

Rob is a class guy and has ALWAYS been helpful with me.

His responses were like a lighthouse in the fog for me!!!

 

James, AFTER hitting apply, the next thing to click is the cut params branch. (Don't exit the toolpath parameters) That is the click that causes the crash (instantly) for me.

I did "apply" before I exited the toolpath.

The last pic in JP's post #108, there are 2 red arrows, hit cut params, then the crash window pops up.

I can repeat that drill point addition problem on my system too. James will just have to try harder to make it crash.

Nope. I CANNOT get this to crash. WHen John and I were swapping ideas last night, he sent me a video and I followed his video step for step. No crashie. Cut params, no cut params, this first, that first.

 

Definitely the best bet will be to send it to QC with step by step instructions. Chances are with all the systems they have there, they will get it to crash.

crashes for me with mu2

[shazam/TPP]

i was able to crash by adding holes as well, but at the end it doesn't matter if i click on cut parameters, planes, coolant, or any of the items in that column. i also ask, why would you hit apply before going back to cut parameters? i've never added holes this way seems like a lot of extra clicking.

[Saultspics]

Crashed for me.

 

James is the lucky One.

... why would you hit apply before going back to cut parameters? i've never added holes this way seems like a lot of extra clicking.

 

Yeah, no kidding. Looking at this from a "flow" perspective, it seems counter-productive to approach adding holes to an existing operation this way. Don't get me wrong, crashes need to get fixed, but I can accomplish the same task (adding holes to an existing operation) with about 1/2 as many clicks by going to the geometry branch on the operation tree after I've completed the operation. I never click "Apply" when I'm creating an operation, only whe modifying an operation. IMHO, apply indicates a change in something that already exists, so if I'm creating a new operation, Apply in reality does nothing, just an extra click.

 

Now, usually if I notice I've missed some holes while I'm creating the operation, personally I like to complete the operation, then go back and add positions through the geometry branch. Obviously that's a personal preference and we all work differently.

FWIW, if I need to add holes, I always add through the geometry branch. I've been doing it since, well, for a long time. Ever since the X interface at least.

[K2csq7]

I didn't even know the option was there on the toolpath type branch of the op's parameters...

Yeah,, I hate finding stuff out like that too.... I could have used that "hide behind the counch" emoticon several times lately

Please tell me we're not playing semantics...

[K2csq7]

Please tell me we're not playing semantics...

Game on!!!!

While I am willing to help, I too use the geo branch in the ops manager to add geo to an existing path.

Wait, is it cheating if their my own words???

I *thought* this was the way to do it and didn't even realise there was any other way???

Every day's a school day

Anybody else experience this? Copy and paste dynamic area mill in ops manager. pasted op the z depth resets to zero and the entry also lost its radius, plunge angle and z clearance. If it was a insert endmill instead of a 1/2" solid carbide it would have crashed! Still don't trust it. I have to double check ops.

[Guest]

Just tried it,

 

Did not reset to zero

 

Set the 1st op to -.5 abs

copied,

 

Still -.5 abs

[The Chipmaker]

Well it has happened 3 times to me this week. Only on dynamic tp's.

[K2csq7]

I just tried as well and it worked fine for me.....

You must be changing something else as well..... reselecting geo or something???

[Guest]

Just tried this at home, same thing, setting stick

 

 

What are you doing different Rob?

[mael3000]

I need your help. I can't install MCX6. The PC shows the next problem:

[gcode]

I think you are trying to install the X6 MU2 update... but you need to install X6 first

If you have X6MU1 installed you need to uninstall it, reinstall X6 then install the X6MU2 patch

[grammin_fool]

I saw this one time.

 

There was a corruption in the Registry, IT wound up recreating the drive

 

There is a Microsoft registry repair utility you might try if X6 is installed and this still will not install
