it seems everybody is getting this error,a way around it,is to offset the boundary out and use center for tool boundary.or else change the boundary into one spline,sometimes it works!
thanks for all the enlightenment,i tried if mi1 > one, absinc = zero i entered if mi1=2,pbld,sg90,pwcs,"X0Y0" ,e ,and the program posted out managed to spit out my required work offsets at every toolchange after i had entered my work offsets in the tool parameter T/C plane of the work offsets checkbox as suggested by Mr.James Meyette
does anybody knows how to create offsets as "G54(or any of this offsets G55,G56,G57,G58)X0Y0"at the beginning of every tool change created through the postprocessor?i can only make it happen at the beginning of the programs,after that there are no more work offsets at the beginning of a toolchange,only "X0Y0".the codes used for the postprocessor was {if mi=2,pbld,pwcs,"X0Y0"}
but the trouble with this Mastercam warning is that you tend to click Yes than No in most cases!so why not Mastercam have 3 options of Yes,No or Cancel?
what i am saying is that accidental saving caused by the solids not regenerated overwriting to your file open "file".even autosave won't be able to help
is there a way to save a file that is accidently overwritten as in when file get another file and mastercam suddenly gives a warning "some solids are in need of regeneration.You may not be able to retrieve this file again.continue anyway?there are times when i accidently click "Yes".all of a sudden my file that i wish to open is overwritten by the old files!
the culprit could be windows xp,it would suddenly shutdown Mastercam after telling you to inform microsoft about your problems whereas Win2000 is stable
the trouble with check surfaces is that the tool will start jumping up and down around the workpiece and that's scary!can't there be a way to keep the tool down during toolpathing?
but what is needed is surface extension of original surface so that whilst edming there won't be a little bit of material left and not any extension of surfaces!
is there any method of extending multiple surfaces without leaving any gaps?can i convert it to sheet body and extending this sheet body so that it doesn't leave any gaps at adjacent surfaces?
after updating my mp.dll to the latest version 9.19,i thought it could solve some of the problems associated with the OM Fanuc system.but it seems whilst running a closed contour chaining,there was an overcut of one of the chains!i later change back to mp.dll ver 9.16,and the problem dissapears!do i need to update my post again to use mp.dllver9.19?it's already updated to version 9
watching winnie the pooh on cable tv and looking at your threads,but i find it too troublesome,it's better just to lie that you have a radius equal to the spark gap or i could just use your other method of shelling the solid
i must admit the design part of UG is incomparable,but the cam part needs improvement,too many hidden details and verify just too slow!but fortunately the UG guy employed by our company wasn't good enough to do programming,mastercam is still their bread and butter!
