X-9 lathe

[AEP]

I have been having issues with lathe for the last few versions. I program a mill turn, and some of the older files it seems as though there are issues with the tool definition files. If I open a file from an older version, and open the parameters page to a tool path, then close it without making any changes, it will kick up an error telling you if you change this tool it will update your operations. Then everything is hosed between the Main spindle and the Subspindle. The only way to resolve the issue is to repick each tool, and sometimes you need to rechain geometry.

 

Has anyone else had these issues?

Yes, it is pretty common to have problems with Lathe when opening older version files. If you can find the exact steps to reproduce the errors, then I'd recommend sending the files into QC (at) Mastercam.com.
