X7 tool corruption detection

[kool]

Just start using X7.

 

Getting this error when I m opening any X6 program in X7.

 

Tool Corruption Detection!

 

Remove corrupted Tools?

 

Any idea what is causing that and how to fix it without removing those tools?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm pretty sure it's deleting corrupted duplicate tool/holder combination. Is the file using holders?

I just click on the "No" button. The warning goes away and the tools are still there and O.K.

I do not use holders on those tools in X6.

 

I went ahead and said yes to removing those tools, but none was removed from the program.

 

saved it and reopen the X7 file without any error messages.

 

but still like to know if it s ok to do

 

Thank you

Kool - There was an issue with tool corruption a few versions back... For X7, a "cleanup" routine was built to get rid of hidden/duplicate/corrupt tools from the database, which is what this is detecting. It's generally safe to get rid of them, but do note that sometimes a toolpath uses a corrupt tool, so you'll have to point it at the correct one and regenerate it.

 

You should never see this again with any file made/opened with X7 onwards, as the corruption issue was fixed and now it's been cleaned up.

I frequently have different tool diameters defined as the same tool number and have had this cleanup routine do its thing and leave me with missing tools and dirty operations whether I click yes or no when prompted. And it's not consistent.

 

I wish there was a way to disable this, umm, "feature".

 

I've never had a problem with tools until version X7.

If you get this error with Router, your Block drill setup gets deleted, you will need to redefine it in the Machine Def.

That shouldn't be happening unless they actually were corrupted somehow... If you have 4 tools with different diameters, they should be separate tools..

Thanks guys,

 

Looks like I m rolling for now. I m sure I will have a lot of questions with all the new feature in X7 (tool manger and new verify)

I have found out the if you get to the tool library with a right click of the mouse the tools get corrupted .....

But if you get to the tool library from the select library tool button you not longer get corrupted tools ........ :):)
