File/Get taking forever?? 9.1sp2

[Brendan P]

Good afternoon friends,

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem,but it seems if I have say a mill file opened,and then I go to open up a lathe file,it is taking "forever" to open.

It may also happen if trying to open (2) mill files too.

 

I never had this problem in 9sp1??

I have been "dealing" with it for a while now,and can't take it anymore.

 

Any suggestions please??

Thanks

Bucket, mine does the same I gave up on 2 MC's open at the same time. especialy running on a network. snails pace everywhere

[Lathe-Mill]

are the files in network server or in your pc?

sometimes when i go to the server to get a file, it's a bit slow, so i copy the file to my pc...works great

This was disscussed a while ago. If memory serves correct, it seems it was related to pulling files from a server.

I too have given up on running mult. sessions. I'm not pulling files from a server, just a slow PC. For me, the first file get after launching MCAM is slow, others are faster.

+1. Slow originally, then down to about 3 seconds afterwards. I also do not run multilpe sessions of MC FOR THIS VERY REASON!! (hint hint, nudge nudge) With a session already opened, it takes upwards of a minute OR MORE to get the other dialog.

That may be a good option to have in a future V of MC. I have a difficult time keeping 1 V. from crashing yet alone 2. I run a pretty up to date computer, I can have multiple assembly-part-drawings files in Solidworks with no problem. If only MC had a similar option.

In future verX real windows version MAstercam can use

Microsolt Multidocument interface for opening say 16 files together or more like Intellicad 2000

and others do.

At least in design

And that will be the end of Multiple Mastercam

sessions

 

Iskander teh Give me verX but leave me current Mastercam interface !

Thanks for all the replys guys.

I thought it was discussed in an earlier thread too,I will have to hunt it down.

No,I am not trying to get the file from a server,it happens even if I am working off my desktop.

 

I still have 9sp1 installed,and it does NOT happen on it!

WHY????

I have to run multiple sessions.

I am always switching on diff. jobs.

I've got the same issue bucket. My file get takes a good deal of time when pulling from a local hard drive using 9.1 sp2. I also have a substantial increase in the amount of time it takes to load the menus for 9.1 over version 9. If you find anything please post it becuase we're clueless here...

Gentlemen,

if you go to the Mastercam folder on your harddrive you will notice a file called CNC reg.

if you open up this file you will see that mastercam can display a standard file ( windows )

or Mastercam ( bit map image ). set to standard windows and this should speed up the file get process. HTH

I had ,emphasis on had, the same problem. Thanks, Camdude. After a little searching in the forum history I found my answer.

 

I work strictly off of a server. Not only that. The building I work in is about a 1/4 mile from the main building where the server is. No local disk work here. File/Get was crawling. Now it takes less than 2 seconds. But, when you set to Windows standard you lose the option on File/Get to use the Recent Files when you right click in folder window.

 

I wanted to revive this thread so others could read it too.

 

You guys are awesome. Every last one of you.
