I have mentioned this one before as well. Definitely can burn you very easily.

Bump. Not fixed in X2 MR2 SP1...

Colin,

I have the settings set to Solidworks defaults, except for I have Unified back / depth buffer turned off. My biggest annoyance is when offsetting a simple arc, the result will be invisible until I hit F3.

LOL @ Thad. I agree. Also how about distancing Delete and Suppress when right clicking Solid Ops in the manager. That one has burned me more than the Toolpath one.

Bash away at the new guy, but I agree Mastercam has some graphics issues. When customizing this latest PC during the ordering I was confident that getting the Quadro FX 3500 would get rid of some of the ones I experience. The way I use Mastercam it has to have quite a bit of CAD functionality. Quite often when I do a simple Xform Offset the created geometry is invisible until I hit F3. WTF? Also the chain arrow will occasionally disappear - especially if I am rechaining.

My name is Jeff, if that is relevant to the topic.

This has been bothering me too. Another one of those "we added new functionality, but in the process f'ed up something else that used to work fine."

Bump. Is anyone else experiencing this?

"Simulate Rotary Axis" seems to have no effect. It does nothing different whether checked or not. My co-worker did a side by side install, and for him MR1 acts like I'm looking for, but not MR2.

Anybody? I'm tearing what little hair I have left out.

It is checked. Any other suggestions? My co-worker is having the same problem.

In MR1 when backplotting a 5-axis Multi Surface (set to 4 axis output) the tool axis would stay vertical and the part would rotate around the x axis. Since updating to MR2 the part stays stationary and the tool rotates around it. All of my backplot settings are identical. Anybody have any ideas?

I would be interested in this as well. Email in profile. Thanks.

Not that big a deal, just a little annoying.

It's already unchecked.

No, after clicking All Off I select the new main level.

I really like the "live" level manager features. Sometimes when I only want to see one level I will open the manager, click All Off, and then select the level I want to use. In MR2 the level that was set as current when I opened the manager stays visible, even though it is unchecked from clicking All Off. It is a minor annoyance, but is there something I can do to prevent this? Previous versions did not work this way.

I have found that if I am copying more than one operation using the same tool it will prompt you if you want to create a new one or not. It can get very confusing if you have another tool used later on that is the same diameter and type, it will prompt you again. If there are many ops you are copying it is easy to get them FUBAR.

I have seen this too using USB to serial- large programs missing chuncks of code with absolutely no warning or error. Not cool.

I see the same thing as Laslok. If I need more than one slice I end up exiting the command and doing it again. If it is from a solid I can at least use the "last" selection, but still is a PITA.

XP Pro here.

Well said Murlin. "Head in the sand" syndrome?

What I would like is to have suppress and delete seperated a little bit further. Have you ever meant to suppress a feature, but deleted instead?

Interesting, over a week now and no (direct) input on this thread from CNC Software. With so many of us seeing this problem it doesn't seem like it would be too hard to reproduce - especially since some of the systems are running their recommended hardware.

JP,

Did you get any sort of response to your email that you can share?

I see the lag regularly.

XP Pro SP2

still using X2

AVG 7.5

Quadro FX 1300 PCIx driver 91.36

Xeon 3.0

3.0 Gig RAM

Doesn't matter surfaces or solids - same lag.
