In Ops Manager, I accidently clicked on nci name, paused and clicked again. In between clicks backplot had loaded. This resulted in the mentioned error and X crashed. Good thing I wasn't doing any thing important, like work or something.

What is X+?

After gouging (read scrapping) two mold plates the less than four digits price of MCULite was very worth it!

Can you upload file to the ftp site? Or give better description of what you are doing?

Get MCULite demo, download for 30 days free. Shows toolpath very well. We use liscened version here all the time. Nice to have a little independent verification. www.nwdesigns.com

I have the same situation, imported IGS, need to remove some surfaces, can't tell difference in outside of part and inside of part plus hundreds of surfaces to contend with.

It does take some getting used to, however, X is a very good implementation. Just keeps getting better with use and experience, like a lot of the posters in here.

John Paris: It is forwrding now.

Changing to .zip worked. I have file open now.

John Paris: You have mail.

I tried several different programs to open the file. It has substance, just doesn't appear to have any geometry.

Anyone else have trouble getting it open?

Did dragracer1951 send this file to anyone else? I have been unable to get it open?

Be glad to look at it send to cncprgr_at_aim.com

I love my YCM's, have 2, an XV1020A & XV560A. Both have the FANUC MXP200i (based on 20i) with high speed options. Very low maintenance machines.

Todd: can you send me a link to that file.

JOE: I don't have that option. I can only save a point cloud or X,Y,Z file.

... enough ...

I've been burned by MCAM9 enought that I resorted to a 3rd party software to verify my toolpaths before I run them. Backplotting and verify both would show good and then Gouge time!

Are you saying there is no way to "UNDO" the mistaken rotation?

Our shop recently purchased a CMM (Manual not DCC). The Salesman assured the owner that it would check our 3D cavities. What he (salesman) failed to mention was the $$$$$$$.$$ software we would need to interpret the results. Thus Boss hits roof, hard. I now need to find a way to take point cloud from CMM, import into MCAM, make points and project onto 3-D Model, and report difference in points. I have been doing this manually (very tedious) and would like to have a C-hook or VB script to do this with unless there is another way? Expensive software is out of the question, especially when it cost's more than CMM. Any thoughts are appreciated. TIA.

Yep, that is when I started getting the box.

No, only shutting down and restarting X will get rid of it.

Some .txt files in the C-hook folder may have some helpfull info.
