Foolish which way are you editing these toolpaths. Are you doing it with Mastercam or some other program or doing in by hand. If you put up an example sure we can help.

Foolish, you need to give some details. Exactly what did you try to edit. The next thing, what post are you? Are you getting the error while trying to post or at the machine?

I still haven't got the toolpath editor figured out yet. It's on my list of "things to play with."

this toolpath editor is like a box of chocolates,you never know what you are gonna get out of it!i will try to post the file in the FTP site once i have my file ready

The toolpath editor takes a bit to get used to, but it is functional.

 

Use PASS to skip between loops in the toolpath.

 

Use POINT to advance/retreat along endpoints in the active loop, or pass.

 

Use SELECT to pick the point to edit by clicking on it.

 

Once you've got the active point you want, click on EDIT to edit that point.

 

Delete a point eliminates the active point.

 

Delete a section prompts you to foreward or backward step from the active point to the end of the section to delete.

 

It's not as intuitive as it could be, and you need to be careful and methodical about using it. Of course, save your file before using it in case you mess it up.

 

The good news is I saw some of the stuff for X a few weeks ago and I think you'll be VERY happy with it.... but you'll have to wait for that.

That makes 2 of us.

I have played with it a bit and everytime, I end up getting aggrevated.

foolish, when you go to edit toolpaths, be sure and don't delete the first point or pass.

 

 

Example:

 

Once when I edited a toolpath, all of the line numbers would be gone. Only when I went back and redid my edit and left the first pass, did the error go away.

 

Other errors have happened to me as well, but that was the strangest one.

 

Me thinks it's still a little buggy......
