X7 Verify

[Rstewart]

Ok, just installed X7 and playing around with the verify.

 

Opened up some 4th Axis parts from X6 and It's showing collisions like crazy! Like I set the retract for not enough clearance. I'm not sure if I have some setting wrong or something but the backplot/verify is Crazy Slow too.... It's not my computer hardware because everything was speedy in X6.

 

I like the layout of most everything but this is almost unusable as of now.

On the Verify page.. go to Files/Options/General and select the 5X Simulation engine

It's already checked on 5ax

Rstewart - Can you post the file, please?

Verifies correctly in X6. Just some quick dirty transform paths where the tool plows through the part??

I see the crashs for sure. the hole thing verifys in say 20 sec.

Any idea why??? I haven't made any new toolpaths in X7 yet to see if the exact same paths crash or not? My verify locks up bad and you only see bits and pieces of all the operations....

Rstewart - This isn't my "area" per se, but I put it in front of the right team.. It appears to be an issue with what's happening between the positions on the different planes. In X6, when one toolpath was done, the tool would disappear, and then just appear at the start of the second op. It's supposed to be doing that here, but it looks like it's linking the movements and then reorienting the tool at the end of the move.

 

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

I had MAJOR verify issues in the Betas, and even the first RC. Its working LOTS better, but still doesnt like my Face Mills. Changed em back to end mills and no crashes.

Thanks for the help! I'll definitely be going back to X6 till this gets sorted out.... It's just some easy transform paths, would have thought this would be sorted out after the 1st Beta???

Try using "copy source operations" (along with disable posting in source ops). Verify only the transform ops excluding the originals, now the rapid moves still go through the stock but does not remove material or show up as a collision.

 

EDIT! Actually the new Verify will not process ghosted ops, so you can select the lot

In case anybody gets the wrong idea, I'm not saying that this is the "way it should be done", I'm just all about making things work any way I can!

 

EDIT! Ok that method is still causing some problems when I run the whole set of operations.... I'll get back in my box now
