Save 1st op verify as stock model for 2nd op

WCS & Stock Model are awesome. I couldn't even imagine going back to not using them.

 

One problem I have run into with stock model is that on larger parts with lots of operations, it takes forever & a day to regenerate the stock model, & quite often crashes. Is this something that upgrading the memory on my computer would speed up? I've only got 8mb ram.

 

Smaller parts it's not an issue on.

8mb??? lol what is it a 486DX2?

 

Seriously though I am assuming you meant you have 8 GB .. on my computer using x7 I have 32GB of ram and I am very often at 7+ GB of ram usage.. it still loves to crash though when doing large stock models.. this is also when its pegged at 100percent CPU as well though so I have kind of figured that was the reason..

I will have to check that tutorial out. Thanks for the link.

Woops, yep should have been GB.

 

It can get kind of frustrating when you get several toolpaths done while you're waiting for it to regen, & then it crashes.

Yeah, 8GB is not enough for what I do anyway. I have 16 GB and even that gets maxed out at times.
