Crash in project to surfaces

[Nils N]

I’ve had X6 installed and working for sometime now and it’s worked fine, be it for a few glitches. Anyway all of a sudden, last week to be exact, X6 crashes when I try to project on to more that one surface. I use project lines/splines (this was a line I was trying to project) to surfaces a lot and haven’t had a problems till now, anyone have any ideas before I reinstall X6. I did a search and couldn’t find anything.

Update for everyone.

 

Did a bit more investigating on this and found I could project on to the model from the top, the left side and the front but I could not project onto it from the right, front or a custom view. I opened another model from this customer and pretty much the same thing. Went back and open a model from a different customer, a car rear end, it has lots of surfaces and very much a freeform shape. Projected some lines on to it and not problem. I could project on to it from any view I wanted.

 

At this point I needed another seat of Mastercam to open and try this so I called my locale MC dealer and he opened my model and tried project lines on to it and got just what I was getting. He took the model and ran it in SpaceClaim and was able to clean it up enough to make a solid. Sent I back to me and no more surface project fails. The whole problem was bad cad work with over-lap’s and spaces between surfaces.

 

So after a frustrating day it all came down to a bad model.

I think we are going to see more and more buying space claim just to fix models alone. I did.
