I am wondering if that is what my Walter Rep. was getting at. Then a test shall be done! I owe everyone at least something for the help I have received. Should be able to get a few different scenarios put together with some different materials.

Thanks! As far as I know, there is not a way to block updates. You could try turning off automatic updates and see if that prevents it from installing. Are you still having the issue? I haven't had it pop up since a Windows update a month or so after my original post.

Thank you for this. 4 years late, yes, I know... But this was a huge help as far as Buffering and Defaults. So, you have my gratitude! No criticism taken, I typically use verify while working through a part or mold, can't recall what I originally messed up, but I have since moved to Stock Models, thanks to the forum users/moderators for laying that out clearly! And because of that, I learned quite a bit more than I had set out to!

Who is Guest and where is this video now?!

I have spent around 2 hours today digging through forums all over and I haven't found a decent thread on this subject. Reason I bring it up and ask is because I have heard this through word of mouth and now from my Tool Rep. So, what is the general consensus on this? Climb only? Zigzag? Conventional only on entry?

So this started happening about a week ago. I don't have proof, but I think its related to a Windows update I just had (Still running 10). Anyone else have this issue? Posts out fine still, but for the life if me I cannot get this editor working.

Thanks for the info, and also a new way to go about some of my projects. Much appreciated!

Is there a way to adjust your speeds and feeds when your using step-up in OptiRough? Such as, on the first deep cut you have a slower feed and on progressive step ups your feed increases? Or is this avoided due to flats and lands that may have too much material left? Did a forum search and couldn't really find anything on the topic.

I am well aware of where my system is at. I've mentioned it in the Benchmark thread. I was simply saying that this debug error seems like it has something to do with RAM capacity, as I encountered it the other day.

Quadro 2000

A Dell prodesk with an i5 @ 3.7ghz and 16gb of generic ram. Its an IT special.

I'm getting this error when running a larger file with multiple stock models. I am thinking, from the replies, this is a ram-based issue as i have a crappy build with crappy ram. Though, in my case, the Debug window pops about 5 or 6 times when starting a new operation, or when reloading an op. I have not had it force a restart on saving though

As far as I know, Compensation Type should be reset every time I make a new 2D Contour path. Is that a correct assumption? If so, why does it stay selected as my last chosen setting(i.e. 'Off'), rather than resetting back to 'Computer'? I didn't think modal settings in Machine Properties included this. If not, is there a way to make it reset back to 'Computer' every time a new Contour path is created? Just dicked myself for not watching the compensation close enough on backplot.

I randomly will get it when making a large Waterline path. Again, like everyone else, it usually has to do with an incorrect depth set, drive surfaces not being in a valid machining region, or a containment that is just odd/funky. Haven't noticed a *real* root cause.

I am beginning to understand the minutia involved with running a shop and this year, programming time has been a killer. The IT guy flat out told me he didn't know what is best for running CAM software when I asked for a new computer. Short talk with the owner, with some numbers proving downtime, and ill be building a rig in January.
