spontaneous plane creation: called itself, Group Machine Group-1-Mill

I'm not sure how to explain this without rambling, but I have another plane issue.

If I'm trying to create geometry or tool paths in a file while it is regenerating High Speed toolpaths, the WCS and toolplanes keep switching back over to what ever operation is regenerating.

Quite frustrating that I can't work while regenerating multi-thread paths.

Has anyone else experienced this and know how to keep it from happening? I don't ever remember having this issue previous to 2019.

I see them on occasion...not something I worry about..

Yes.. it's used to be, bringing a V9 lathe file into an X version would create a new plan for ever toolpath.

50 lathe ops = 50 duplicate planes -1 though -50

When Deb and I went round and round on this issue trying to get it figured out, here was the work around they suggested. It does seem to work at eliminating the extra planes.

Running mc2020 pb2/pb3 - lathe

We were opening a new session with a solid, then setting all stock setups, machine, material, etc. Then importing the tool paths.

(This happened when importing anything from previous ops, including tool paths, drafting, etching, etc.)

hopefully this will help.

 

"" I think we’re onto something here. I had one of the developers look into it with the video and he spotted something for you to try out. If you get the same result, we can use that as a temporary workaround and I can go ahead and finally get this logged appropriately (because we’ll know what is happening and will be able to duplicate it).

When you open the second session and load the machine, DON’T do the stock setup. Import the operations first. THEN do the stock setup and see if you get the additional planes. Our money’s on no new planes created. ""
