Corrupt Tools

[glend123]

Maybe I missed it in this long thread, but has there been a fix to this problem yet??? VERY ANNOYING!

Hi glend123,

The X7-SP2 update will address the issue that was reported when pulling the same tool from the library multiple times within the same machine group.

 

This update is being released as an incremental patch and should be available via the Automated Update Service.

Rich - how does this work? Am I assuming it does this in the background similar to windows updates?

Because if it does, how do we get this patch because our network isn't connected to the interweb?

thanks

I hope it happens soon!

SP2 is live.

SO....... Is this issue fixed? In SP2? I am thinking about upgrading to X7 but I will "NOT" Have these Problems as you guys speak of. If you had this problem could you verify that it has been fixed in SP2!!!!

 

Thanks

SO far in my usage of SP2

 

This nasty little bug "seems" to be cleaned up. Any "new" file created "IN" SP2 is not doing it, however, all the files in X7 previous to SP2, can still open up with corrupt tools.

 

So just be aware that if you see corrupt tools, the file is likely pre-SP2

Since most of my work involves updating and modifying preexisting files I still see it a lot. The workaround I've found for the "unable to add tool" error is this: After you get the error, save the file and reload it. The tool should now be in the list but without its holder. Do not delete this tool at this point. Try adding the tool again, click "ok" for the "similar tool" warning, and you should now have your tool assembly with holder. You can now delete the tool without holder.

Any news fixing this issue with X6 files?, we have many programs with rolling revs that need to be upgraded and saved as X7 and we still seeing this issue every day

If I try to renumber a tool and save that back to my tool library it will corrupt my library in X7. Also if i write a program and try to go back and change the tool number it will post the old tool number. I have to delete the operation and program the tool path with the new number. I was told this problem should be fixed with the MU1 update.

After you change a tool number in an operation regenerate it even though it does not show as being dirty. That should take care of that problem, it has for several of us here. Sorry can't help with the first problem though.

We were able to duplicate the problem here and we have a fix that will go out with SP2. We're in the process of producing and testing an incremental patch.

What about those of us that don't have the upgrade available?

Like me.

SOL comes to mind......

 

If you don't have access to the Service Pack, there's not much anyone can do.

There are compelling reasons to stay current on software (not just programming software).
