we have 8 seats of mcam here. after winxp sp3 update......2 seats of mcam won't open files.
warnings or errors with these files.
bnci.bin
cfgstart.tmp
lastchn.tmp
any ideas on what the culprit is?
-
ARC MULTI EDIT.....that's what i needed
-
replacing the machine definition file and knowing to delete all files in the temp folders really helps....thanks gcode and steve
mastercam only locked up on me once in the last few hours so i'm encouraged about this fix.
(not happy that it is happening to begin with though)
-
gcode you da'man.....20 minutes no lockup with many toolpath edits.
does the machine def get corrupted?
-
when mcam is off.....these files are in temp....
bnci.bin
cntrnci.tmp
ids.tmp
lastchn.tmp
mcfd7.tmp
tbstate.dat
i deleted them......i restart mcam go to op manager....do anything with a toolpath and mcam locks up.
-
i have in temp folder.....
folder 153430, containing these files
bnci.bin 1/22/08
shortcut to tbstate.dat 5/12/08
tbstate.dat 1/22/08
files
bnci.bin 5/12/18
ids.tmp 5/12/08
tbstate.dat 5/12/08
mastercam is running.....so these files should be present?
-
was this the cure for unhandled exception error?
when i'm in operation mgr mastercam will lock up
randomly. (not fun)
-
i will take a peek.....thanks
-
where do i find it?....it's not in my alt-c chook folder
-
i take it browse (as in v9) isn't in x2 either??
-
zero....3 years later and i am having this problem....exactly the way you describe it.
my alt works fine in all other apps.....it's random in mcam.
some users/developers may say...ahhh it's just the alt key...live with it....it's no biggie....well to me it is, i use the alt key constantly, when it doesn't work the way it is designed to...i have to alter my creating geometry or programming habits.
it is 1 key out of many, but i wish there was a fix for it.
-
a little late but yes
-
i closed down x2....no luck dimension parrallel still didn't work.
i didn't want to but i did....i rebooted my system...now dimension parrallel works.
what does a reboot reset to make dimension parrallel work now???...this is friggin' crazy!
-
i was able to this this before.....now for whatever reason mastercam won't let me create a parrallel dimension.
plz....someone post the steps to create a parrallel dimension.
-
this drives me crazy
-
c-hooks are task specific add-ons designed to speed up creating geometry and programming in mastercam.
hit alt-c to see list of chooks

quote:You first need to unroll the curved geometryXform >> roll
xform ...unroll, this was the key i needed.
but!!!.....now when i code my file my code and clearance moves are out of whack.
my code was mostly z & b moves and clearances were posted as i set them. z moves matched the model file. (this is good)
now my code is mostly y & b moves and my clearance moves have 302.9mm added to them. nothing matches my model file.
path looks good but but not in right place.
do i have to adjust my planes either on operation parameter page or toolplane or c-plane?
-
it's one of those things.....since you're not using solids you don't realize the benefits. once you start using it though you'll say "i should've switched years ago".
-
my steps....
mill toolpaths
contour
chain geo (blue geo in jp's picture)
rotary axis
axis sub...sub X axis...CW...rot dia 605.8
i try both unroll as well as no unroll, neither produces correct results
active level = 210
color = 14
-
axis substitution
substitute X axis
CW
-
same as jp.....wcs=top, cplane=top
i tried 2d & 3d also.
-
i followed your diagram......unrolled geo does not
get created.
i went thru it 4x.....no unrolled geo created.
(not on a different level either)
what am i missing??
-
jp...that looks like what i need thanks.
but how do i do it....unroll the geo?
i'm trying and it's not working?...i'm using the rolldie c-hook......any further guidance will be appreciated.
-
jp i will chk out later today....i'm back from vacation.....trying to get back in the programming
swing.
windows xp sp3 update and X2
