Unless you need to "engrave" with a special tool Just use 2D contour.

I have seen this especially with older X5 & X6 files opened in X7.

Regeneration does not correct the problem that generate the message.

However, I have still been able to post and the code was fine.

 

The only way I have been able to get rid of the message was to re- create the offending op from scratch.

As best as I can determine, this is somehow tied to toolpath tolerance settings.

 

Have you tried looking at the error log that is created during posting?

Check the output folder where your NC code file is.

There is probably an err file.

i use cimco edit and it will show error logs if any, not getting them.

Check your control definition to see if they are being created.

yes it is set to display error

[Guest MTB Technical Services]

yes it is set to display error

 

Make sure it is set to create the err files.

 

I'd go ahead and send it to your dealer or straight to [email protected]

That's strange..

There is nothing there that's really an error.

[Colin Gilchrist]

Sending in that .ERR file won't help in this situation. The log file shows that there are no posting errors being reported, only variable re-initializations, which is normal.

 

You'll need to send in a Zip to Go file that includes the Mastercam part file...

 

Thanks,

We've been seeing that error pop-up here as well.

We went through a lot of scenarios and it and seems to have something to do with the way we had chained our geometry.

We found that when we chained our geo with "Window" or "Area", it caused this error pop-up. Chaining with standard "Chain" would not produce this error.

We were also able to post good code by clicking No on the pop-up.

 

This was not a problem with previous versions that I can recall.

[happycat64]

ok, thanks for all your help everybody

Colin, I have gotten a couple of customers reporting this error in the past few days. I sent some file in to QC a few minutes ago.

[Colin Gilchrist]

Thanks for sending it in Scott. The more reports we get, the more attention the issue gets...

[Greg Williams]

I see that error too, it seems to be linked to selecting the geo with a window

[Scott Lundin Shopware Inc.]

^ yep, that is exactly what QC found also.

re-selecting chains is not working for me.

[Guest MTB Technical Services]

re-selecting chains is not working for me.

 

It's not working for me either.

 

Very strange.

The code is still good.

[Rstewart]

Just tested this out on X7 SP1.

 

Window geo selection and compensation set to off. No Pop up or error at all. Posted code looks good.
