invisible entities

[Müřlıń®]

Could someone take a look at this file and see if they can find these invisible entities. open level manager...

 

 

I cannot find them in unblank or unhide.

 

 

level report says this

 

 

-------  Level     1 ------------

         

    0 Points             0 Surfaces           1 Copious Data 

    0 Lines              0 Dimensions   

    0 Arcs               1 Notes        

    0 Splines            0 Cross Hatches

I'd say you have a corrupt file.

 

Associative entity are "database" (not geometric) entities and should not be showing up in the Levels list counts.
These specific associative entities are "File" references to the (does not exist) ->
C:\Users\Remote\Desktop\-11\1st_op.stl

An entity (the Note/Label entity here which is marked as "blanked") should not be on Level #0
That we cannot see it may be that there is a Note with no Text?

0x10      < Note/Label
0x800    < Copious data
0x4000  < Associative entity

Thank you very very much....that explains all the weirdness with some of the toolpaths I have been experiencing...

[Müřlıń®]

I stripped all the data out of the file on a hunch when I kept having problems..... but that was my working file.

[Müřlıń®]

Roger I have another question....If those corrupt entities are in the file I made with all the tool paths, are they fatal enough to cause the post to make errors?

 

All the verify and stuff looks good...there is a ton of work in that file...

Those alone should not really cause "other" issues

Well I didn't catch on to the path to the wrong STL. Too much other stuff was going on.

 

What I kept getting was error messages that the STL didn't exist...ops going dirty that used an STL, the wrong STL being crunched in the tool path and the wrong STL being pulled up in Verify.

It all makes since now.

Then all the weirdness stopped and I was only getting an error the STL didn't exist. That must have been when I moved the working folder off my desktop.

 

All I know is that certain tool paths wouldn't work right in this particular file and they worked perfectly in a brand new file using the same geometry and same settings.

 

This file was made from a previous install that I crashed somehow.

 

I was just on a mission to find out why this file didn't work.

 

thanks for your help.
