Yes, I can post steps: Select solid geometry for a drill cycle, copy operation and re-select geometry for a new operation, an error comes up "encountered an improper arguement" then when I try to close MC it gives the "you can not close MC while a task is still active, mastercam:: edit geometry" error
I have 2 seats of X6 that comes up with the wrong toolist when I go to print, it will print out a list for a previous job everytime, had the same problem with X5 on these 2 systems. We have 5 seats and the other 3 work fine?
I have narrowed this issue down to re-selecting geometry for drill points, my original geometry will be solid entities and when I go to re-select new geometry this error will pop up. I am not in the middle of any other operation when this happens, this error has occured 3x during the last 2 days.
There seems to be a bug in the Level Manager, when going to change levels the window pops up and then MC locks up, just started today and only on 1 particular file
I am using the toolpath editor, my part is in the front plane, when I re-select a point it inputs the XYZ values of the point in relation to the top plane. I even tried to place the part on the top plane and it still inputs the wrong coordinates 90% of the time.
Jim,
What seems to happen is I will reselect point geometry for a new part revision, then it will give me "Encountered an improper arguement" error, then I will get the aforementioned error. It seems to happen more often when I am using solid geometry.
I get this error on a regular basis when re-selecting geometry Error: You cannot close the application while a task is still active: Mastercam::Edit Geometry. They only way to close MC at this point is to use task manager.
I can't seem to find an English version for X4

I prefer the geometry to be on the face I am machining ie. front face B0 etc, I see people rotating the WCS around and it creates a real clusterfork of a program, do it right or don't do it at all!
