Dr watson error

[Tony]

Hello

I am running vs.8.1

I recently have lost two files when I went to save them. In that nano second before

I get prompted to save to etc.I get DRwatson error:Stackoverflow(0x00000fd),address0x005a4487

Whatever, The file is 0kb when I reboot.

I thought it was a fluke but after working on the same file around the 6th save it did it again.

it is a small file i am extending surfaces

so i can run the cutter past my needed burn depth.Some surfaces get weird and dont line up with each other by alot (usually i just toggle gap keep tool down) but here i was

extending,create curve edge,ruled surface.

Is there a better way like a cut extension?

I am cutting with surf parallel.

I just put in the latest surf/machapp patch 3/16 Why not maybe that will fix it!ha..

Thanks Tony

I'll try again and this time save to a floppy and pull it out after each sucsseful save!!!Stone age!

I have run into a similar problem with 7.2 where I had a hidden line and went to do a repaint or fit and poof..... The app blows up! However I havent been able to duplicate this in 8. So who new... Might want to try creating a new surface. just a thought.. Good luck

I've had this problem for several years using v7.2. Occurs mostly in the lathe. Mastercam says its in my computer. Hmmm....

I have never lost anything (0kb)

I have been at it since version 6.

I think I figured it out.Bad geometry, I couldnt see it but when i picked the same line/curve it would crash.When analayzing

the Model With Solidworks.It comes up with a .007 interference warning!?!

I get the smae thing when using the edit feature in Analyze. No surfaces, just lines arcs and points. It does seem to do it most when I click on drafting entities.

Its a new Dell 733 running NT4

Probably using the NVidia card...

Update to Detonator 3 driver from there web site, this should solve your problem.

Detonator Driver! That sounds like something I want to put in my computer.

Just kidding That just "sounded really funny" (Detonator Drivers).

Tony you asked "Is there a better way like a cut extension?I am cutting with surf parallel." Try in your Gap Setting's setting the Motion to Smooth, on the same page try adding a Tangential Arc Radius to "extend" the toolpath. If you use finish contour, depending on the electrode, you could setup some depth limits and the tool will contour past your last surfaces vertically to a set depth.

Hope this helps.
