Well.....I've reloaded the Mach def's...didn't help.

 

try posting with a generic post that installs with Mastercam.

If you can post with a stock post the file is not corrupt.

I've seen this caused by a bad misc integer setting on highly customized posts.

 

Tried this too......didn't help. Still get the errors in posting message.

/sigh

Oh well, guess I'll remake the program. Thankfully I get paid by the hour....hello incoming OT!

 

Thanks for your help gcode,

BC

Have you tried Regenerating the Operations? It looks like the NCI file isn't being written, before the Post file is open. This causes the post to not have any data to convert into NC code...

 

I have regenerated the toolpaths, with no success. I also verified that the files were routed to the correct folders and posts.

Thanks for the reply Colin, any chance that I have to save this program I will jump at!

UPDATE:

I have successfully recreated this file and have come up with a reason why this happened. It seems that I had MCAM open twice. I didn't realize that I had an extra copy running in the background with the offending file open. DOH!

Won't be doing that again! Thanks guys for all your assistance :)

I am seeing the same issue. I am able to write a program and post it out, but if I save the file and open it again later I get errors and it will not post. Even though nothing has changed since the last time I posted the program successfully. This has happened to me on the last 8 program I have written this week. It does this to me on X6 and X7. I have tried posting the operations one at a time, replacing the machine definition, and I tried using one of the generic machine defs and posts. I still get an error log and the code fails to post. This is really frustrating because if everything isn't perfect the first time the program is written, it has to be completely rewritten because it will never post again. Any ideas on what's causing this issue? I'm opening IGES files from Pro E. I also tried using other file formats with the same result. These parts do have to be machined on both sides causing us to rotate the parts. Because of this there is a copy of the geometry on one level, and the another copy of the gemoetry flipped over on a different level.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have the same issue here with 1 locked 5 axis and 1 regular 4 axis post. Next time I'll take a screen shot of it, but sounds like similar problem. Re-staring MC doesn't do anything, but restarting the pc gets it working again...happened about a dozen times in the last month. Scary, there is few weeks worth of work in each file...

UPDATE:

I have had a few conversations with MCAM NW and found out the true issue. It was NOT because I had MCAM X6 open twice. It was because I had used the "Group Comment" field in the "Machine Group Properties" tab for program notes, and had entered an unrecognized integer into that field( hit tab most likely). This caused the error code and wouldn't let the post processor progress part that point. I have stopped using that field for notes, and have noticed no other issues :)

 

Happy Programming!

I use that field to input all of my comments which get output on my active reports setup sheet, I post everything with those comments there but not output in my gcode

 

It should be causing a post issue

 

Might have that fixed :)
