Surface High Speed Roughing hangs X9

[Guess_who]

Tried doing some surface high speed roughing in X9 yesterday. It calculates up to 10% then hangs. This only happens when trying to use rest roughing style.

 

So I went to X8 and did the same thing, of course it's is done a bit different in X8. They actually have a rest roughing cycle where-as X9 combined them all into two cycles.

 

After creating my X8 path I pulled the X8 program into X9, changed the step down from .300 to .290, regenerated, and it HANGS again.

 

So my question, has anyone had this problem? Any work-arounds?  I've already done a restart on the computer. I also had another program try on his box with the same results.

 

I did a quick search here, and didn't find a similar topic.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I should add that we are up to the latest version of X9.

Share a file?

 

Usually the problem is you don't have a parameter or boundary set correctly.

I'd have to get permission for the engineering director to send a file. Maybe I can make a mock-up.

 

And I'd agree with you about a parameter, except I can pull my X8 file in that works great, and just try and regens and it hangs.

 

Let me see if I can strip out all customer related data, and I guess I can send a ZIP2GO. Would that work?

A Z2G will work...

 

Most of us here on the main forum work with NDA's and ITAR and such but not all as this is a public forum.

 

So if you have a file that you cant share publicly, just PM Ron, Ben, Hardmill, JP, Jay, or myself to name a few,  and your file is safe.
