Right click in Level Manager issue back

[Jayson Kramer]

I have found in the last few days that the right click option in Mastercam X7 MU1 has stopped functioning and have to restart MC.

Has anyone eles start seeing this again?

I have had this issue quite often and it is always after working with a certain session for an extended amount of time or after doing a lot of different functions. Sometimes using the Ram Saver option makes the right click functionality come back but I have yet to pin point what is causing the issue unfortunately. I've been bugging my reseller with many other X7 issues so I have kept quiet about this one since I can fix it pretty quickly. Chose my battles and all that.

I've had this issue exactly one time and, have no idea what caused it.

I did have multiple sessions of X6 and X7 open at the time, but only

one X7 session was affected.

A restart fixed the problem.

[Jayson Kramer]

This was all the time it happens in X7 and one session going at any given time.

(A restart fixed the problem) Same here

I have had the same problem and yes a restart seems to fix many problems.

Having this issue frequently today, which made me come back here to check if there was a solution yet. I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it.

I had it off and on for weeks; haven't seen it at all lately, and hopefully your post doesnt JINX me

I think I've noticed another corresponding trend: several times now, at some point before the level manager won't let me right-click, I start seeing funny things in the Operation manager. If I expand operations, or minimize them, they will start overlapping, and hiding each other. Sometimes closing and reopening the operation manager will fix it, but other times, the only thing to fix will be a restart of Mastercam.

 

Anyone else see the same thing with the operation manager?

I have been seeing it again this last week for sure. just save and shut down MC and start again and you are good again. it appears to show up after having MC open for hours.

I'm working on a whole series of similar parts, going through the same routine for every part...about a 15 minute process. I basically have to restart between every part. I still haven't been able to determine what stage of the process it's happening in, and it doesn't seem to be the same every time either.

It just happened to me as well. To busy to go through the shut down and restart to fix it just will deal with, but yes no rhyme or reason to it.

[crazy^millman]

Went to lunch came back and had to shut everything down and bring it back up was crashing Mastercam erasing my groups. Now I am restarted and back like nothing ever happened.

So just eat lunch before you use Mastercam! ROR

Not sure how related this is but I see this happen more when MC starts collecting folders in the Temp directory. MC is 'supposed' to delete them when you close but this is not always the case. If I clear out the temp folder and restart MC, the world is right again until I start collecting folders in the temp file again. I also notice that MC starts acting funny just before this happens....dialog windows that are visible but not selectable. Geometry that won't select and the random crashes. I am not sure why the files accumulate but some days I will open and close 10 to 20 files and I will end up with 5 or more files in the Temp folder and then the right click doesn't work anymore.

It just did the same thing to me, I restarted Mastercam and it was fine. Definitely something going on.

And I thought this was just happening to me,

Too long a session, too many sessions open or one I’m suspicious of is hit doing the commands too fast.

i am having the same issues with X8, cant exactly figure out what causes it. Frustrating!!

Do you guys ever have problems with the level manager when you need to cut copy and paste several different levels? I get the level manager temporarily deleting levels, creating duplicates and all sorts of other great stuff... But as soon as you close and re open the level manager all the levels that the level manager "deleted" come back, and all the duplicate level disappear...

 

I bring in lots of tombstone assemblies from SW so I usually have 100's of levels that I try to consolidate when I bring them into MC.

[SpacePilotPro]

bummer...I was hoping this bug would be resolved in X8...it is double plus annoying. (that is a reference to 1984)

[Matthew Hajicek - Singularity]

Another thing showed up again; the loss of ability to copy geometry, again cleared by restarting.  Seemed to coincide with the hotfix?

[Jayson Kramer]

I have not seen any issues for a while and none of this in X8 for me yet. use levels every time I program or design. will keep my eyes WIDE open.
