Several Crashes so far

[Camelot]

I have now switched over to 2017 from V9.  In the last 5 days have had 4 crashes. 

One when I was simply opening up a file.

4 when I was altering or making a tool in Mastercam's tool manager.  Not the stand alone.

 

I've also have problems with making tools.  Screen gets garbled up after a couple of tools I make.  Happened in V9 as well.  Happens on all 3 computers at my work. 

 

Without going into great detail, I'll just say that I have a very high end computer and this still happens.  I'm thinking that is must be a Mastercam problem.   

Anyone else have this issue?

[compressor sam]

The only crashes I have experienced, are with opening a file, it still happens, I can create and alter/edit tooling with no crashes, but..... I have found recently, on the file opening issue, if I start mcam, then wait a few minutes before opening, no crashes, this was entirely by accident.

 

P.S. I did not like mcam2017 initially, but using it for a few weeks, it has become second nature !

if it isn't already, update microsoft .net to the latest version.

The issue with the tool manager crashing I'm pretty sure is a known issue that's supposed to be fixed in the next update.  Happens to myself and my co-worker fairly often so you're not alone there.

[gcode]

The tool manager issue is known issue and a fix is on the way

It's a weird one.. some people see it frequently, others never see it.

I'm one of the lucky ones, though I have no idea why.

Must be something to do with prerequisite installs that some people have and others don't

[Jayson Kramer]

I am with you Gcode. this has not been an issue.

Tool Manager crash has been a b!tch for me....

Your'e doing it wrong.

[gcode]

Tool Manager crash has been a b!tch for me....

I know.. it's really strange.. this has not happened to me once, ever

I've never had a printing crash either

[Tim Johnson]

I've changed my backup files from 10 to twenty due to the amount of times I have to save the file from creating or adjusting tools. If I need to go back to a real previous revision it will be at least ten backups down.

[JAMMAN]

I get the crash but not all the time. I think we gained enough from this release to put up with a little instability in some random functions.

[jlw™]

I like 2017. Only crash I keep having is some of my big åss stock models needing to regen.

[Guest]

Yep, been a real b!+€# for me as well. I have taken to saving my file in between steps and before EVERY time I edit a tool. That way I don't lose any work. I would say my programming efficiency has dropped tremendously as a result of this bug.

 

2017 is the first release since V7 that I have SERIOUSLY considered uninstalling until it gets fixed. Problem is I have a project I am too far along on to start over.... And I don't have X9 installed anymore.

 

I hope this fix comes soon. I can't take it much longer.

_{(Surface issues) When I untrim or extend a surface it makes 14 0r 47  or... odd amounts of Duplicate surfaces in the one mouse click.}

_{I can see them in Delete duplicates but , delete duplicates won't delete them.}

_{I have to pain stakingly delete them one at a Time !?!}

_{I have even created a simple Loft surface ( 2 line Ruled) and the result is my new surface and my last surface trim to plane pop's back un trimmed with 63 duplicates !!}

 

_{Undo quit's about 5 minute's into a session.}

_{I had it set to unlimited and or 100 at 500 meg.}

_{Didn't matter. to get undo to work again you have to close out and then re open it.}

 

_{Awesome stuff going on when making electrodes.}

_{It takes me hours longer fighting these two things.}

_{I will run Jing video tomorrow to send into QC.}

I haven't had the tool manager crash at all. Like gcode, not once.

 

The +D+Z issue is the JParis B1tch ( ) for me. I wont do any lathe work in 2017. Strictly milling.

[jlw™]

I haven't had any tool manager crashes either but that lathe +D+Z has got me good.

 

Fres, I haven't had that issue with surface operation but I many many times if I try to hide entities with alt+e surfaces will not hide. They do change appearance but don't go away. After it does that only a reboot will get it to go away. I however think it is a video card issue for me.

[Fred @ Slate Industries]

I was told by qc its my video card driver

Did that still testing it out.

I programme screw rotors, all lathe work and milling work, are done using the top wcs, when turning i set my datums(usually g54/55/56) from inside the operation parameter page, i have used this method since X6, and have had no problems EVER, as i said previously, only opening a file, but i have found a "workaround" for this

I have now switched over to 2017 from V9.

 

Well there's your problem...

[jlw™]

V9? You running that on a DOS emulator?

[Camelot]

Oops.  X9.  Not V9.

[crazy^millman]

Oops.  X9.  Not V9.

 

Thought so. :thumbsup:

Looks like the crashing problem has been fixed. Been two days with only one crash and I think it was my fault. I have not been able to repeat it.

 

WHEW!!!

My only crash so far was mistakenly editing an X9 tool.

Hold off on those cheers. I thought I was in the clear...but crash city once again. It appears that update 1 did nothing to fix this fvcking issue.
