NEW INSTALL X7 VERIFY CRASHES

[Mickey@acceltool]

Every time I try to verify an x6 file or a newly created file in X7 Mcam crashes??

[Mickey@acceltool]

I hate upgrading.........

[DODGERFAN]

Today is my first day of X7 too. UGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!

[Mickey@acceltool]

Seems like it works fine, until I hit the verify button and then.......BOOM!!!!!!

[Todd Tracey from Fastech]

SP1 or SP 2 installed?

[Mickey@acceltool]

uninstall and re-install fixed it...sp2....Damn Migration!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mickey@acceltool]

OK........X7 crashes every time I try to verify???

X7 is sitting on the desk behind me. Still using X6 until I stop seeing daily posts such as this one. I am truly scared, and maintenance is current with us so it isn't a money issue.

OK........X7 crashes every time I try to verify???

 

close X7

 

go to

C:\Users\--- your login name here ---/Documents\my mcamx7\

you will see 4 ini files with names like

 

mwMachSim.ini

and

mwVerifierGUI.ini

 

delete them and restart X7

It will generate new default ini files and hopefully fix the problem

I installed it, right into my filing cabinet, Im not sure I will ever install it, just too many problems, X6 is working just fine for me.

Will this be fixed in MU1.

Still have not braved the X7 install.....

GCODE......those files are no where to be found in any x7 folder. I do see some in the x6 folder though!! Please advise

[gcode]

they should be in your user folder "mymcamx7", not the X7 program folder

[Mickey@acceltool]

I searched my whole computer and only found them in my mymcamx6 folder?

[gcode]

try pulling your config file out of the Config folder

which will cause Mastercam to build a fresh default one on the next launch.

If the files are absent, X7 is supposed to create fresh default ini file when it's launched.

Obviously, its not doing that.

Another thing you could try is to launch the computer with a new username.. which will create a whole

new mymcam7 folder for the new user.. this should contain the missing ini files

which you could then copy to your mymcam7 folder.

I went into my configuration and under the screen tab I changed it to GDI instead of OpenGL and it WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gcode]

ATI Radeon HD 5670

 

I missed this in your siggy.

Running GDI will be a heavy performance hit but if you're running an ATI video card

there is not much you can do about it

[Mickey@acceltool]

I just put that there today. Is that a bad thing?

[gcode]

Mastercam uses OpenG/L for it's graphics

ATI does not support OpenG/L which is why things started working when you shut if off in your Config settings.

The preferred video cards for Mastercam are Nvido Quadro cards or high end Nvidia GeForce gaming cards.

People do run Mastercam successfully with ATI cards but its not the easy way to go.

gcode, are yu running some altered settings on the nvidia graphics settings i have some pretty huge programs with alot of solids involved and the bigger it gets the slower it gets , also stalling some i,m running the quadro 4000

I saw this problem at a customer this week, migration had changed his "Shareddir" registry setting to mcamx6

 

I would delete your mcamx.config in your my mcamx7\config folder and delete the Mastercam X7 entry in the registry and it should be fine
