problem deleting ops

[Müřlıń®]

I have a problem. I am trying to delete an unwanted ops and when I do, Mastercam crashes after "updating toolpath refrences" echos twice on the command line.

 

I have tried coping the file to another computer, changing tools, making the ops dirty, moving to a new group, ect and it still crashes....

 

Any thoughts?

I've had that problem too.

If you delete a couple of OPs then exit

the OPs Manager,save, then delete a couple more... etc etc, you should be able to delete them all.

Make sure you've saved a backup copy. I've had the file get corrupted beyond use by the crash.

We used to have that problem too, especially on large multi op. surface programs.1/2 day to write program =$$$$. AUTOSAVE= priceless . Bruises on forehead Painful.

Haven't had the problem since we upgrade computer. 2 gig ram and dual xenon 2.8 gig processors seems to help,533mghz buss .

Don't know if this is the answer of answers , but it worked here.

I'm curious, how do you define crash? I was having a problem simular to this, plus not able to read .sat files. My rep sent me a cd with 9.1 and sp2 onit and told me to reinstall over the top. so I did and the probs went away.

I only want to delete this one ops.

Mastercam crashes everytime I delete it and exit ops......I don't get a chance to save the file because it crashes exiting ops.

 

I guess I'll just leave it in there and hope it doesn't cause any problems.

 

P.S It crashes in 9.0sp1 and 9.1sp2

If your deleted operation was pointed to somewere to remashining , it can cause crash.

Have you tried a ram saver? I had that problem when it would crash all the time when deleting ops and I did a ram sav and it fixed it. good luck

[Müřlıń®]

Matt...no I didnt try that but will next time.

When I unselected the surfaces from association,

Debug window popped up and called the count 0> or something.

 

My file was smallish I guess, 1500 surfaces,10 boundaries, and 70 ops.

 

Anyways were stylin' now

 

Thanks
