Hi,

Ive a particular file i want to use run verify on but for some reason its importing a  model from about a year ago(red model)as well as my new stock(blue model)

Very strange.. how can i get rid of this unwanted model and update it with my new stock?

Thanks

Yes it is..

Im only using a dia 6 x 45 deg chamfer tool..

Hi All,

I'm trying model chamfer for the first time and I'm having trouble..

I'm able to generate a toolpath only if the chamfer width is set to zero..

If i change chamfer width to say 05 it doesn't generate toolpath..

I'm sure I'm missing something so any help appreciated..

thanks !

Hi,

When calculating a toolpath im wondering what it means down in the bottom left corner when it flashes up briefly and says Running Security?

Ahh yes thats it!

Hi,

Im sure ive seen it before but i want to analize the length if a chain ..

Thanks

Thanks for the tip!

Here's an example..

Thanks

Ive just tried model chamfer 2021...

if i have 0 set for chamfer width it looks as though it cuts ok but obviously the chamfer width is zero..

If i change chamfer width to say 0.2 mm or whatever it doesnt generate a toolpath at all.

I must be missing something..

i know my maintenance has expired so i dont expect to be able to fully update but is it possible to get just the update relating to the event logger so this can be resolved?

Or at the very least a way to stop the event logging altogether..

Surley this would be possible as it really is a pain the way it is at the moment..

i disabled the event logger and it fixed it right away..

Very strange..

I'm not very confidant in having to come up with a work around so maybe I'm stuck with this issue...

The issue almost seems as if i double click the mouse very quickly on the yellow field i want to enter data into and then it hangs..

Thanks for the reply..

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,

My maintenance has run out..

Not sure what else i can do here..

Hi ,

Im having real issies with 2021 now..

Quite randomly when i select say a toolpath or a field to enter data it hangs for up to 20 seconds then its fine..

Ive done nothing different but its just started happening..

My Mastercam Event Log has heaps of error entries (see pic)..

Any help appreciated as this is really a drag...

Hi,

Has anyone else noticed that a model that you have been programming gets slower and slower to respond as the day wears on?

I really notice that after quite a few hours things just slow down..

especially when you want to analyse an entity..it can take up to 4 seconds to analyse an entity and give you information on it..

And if you are trying to analyse dynamic a certain feature on a part sometimes it wont even let you do that  ..

Running 2021 with amd 3900x..

Thanks!

Hi,

Why is it that when i select my toolpaths in ops manager the color of the associated geomety changes..

When i unselect the toolpaths it changes back to original geometry color..

Thanks

HI all,

ive had this issue before but basically im trying to change the colors of some or all  entities sometimes but some seem to change colors as they should but others just wont..

Not sure if somehow certain entities are locked in some way..

Just noticed that they are defined the same color so if i select all color they all get selected but once i clear display they still display different colors..

Anyway very frustrating any help appreciated..

Thanks!
