veiwsheets are very handy . When levels match 'user created planes' on multi sided parts with a lot of features. Makes for a very clean and organized part.

glad i could help!

you could try viewsheets. tie each WCS view and specific level to a viewsheet. Very clean for multiple setups.

Makes sense Ron, i've been saving new ops as i go in X8. ( they needed updating anyway)Sometimes trying to take shortcuts just doesn't work!! thanks

agree as well !!

FYI , i pinpointed the problem. When using migrated OP's from previous versions, the file (no matter what size) locks up in verify. When i made new ops in X8 on the original file, i had no problems verifying.

one thing i noticed is when i verify the file that did partially load, i turn on toolpaths and 1 tool, usually a drill seems to take off into space on its clearance move. that is what is causing the file not to load all the way i believe. . but i haven't been able to figure out why this is happening. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks guys, i have tried to load only half the program , that seemed to work but still haven't pinpointed the problem.

I'm wondering if anyone else is having difficulty with the new verify. I'm trying to simulate a 32 mb file , when it starts to process the nci data , it hangs up at 86% and locks up my computer. I'm quite sure there are bigger files out there. I've got shopware (local distributor) looking into it but it also locked up there computer as well. Any input would be apreciated. thanks in advance
