Repair File feature

[byte]

When I tell it to detect the limits on Zdepth it will give me numbers that don't make sense.

are you using WCS on your files?? the numbers you are seeing may be in Mastercam workspace, not your WCS Workspace

yes, I do use WCS.  the problem isn't so much that the numbers are wrong, but that those numbers are an indication that there is corruption in the file, which causes all 3d HSM paths to go dirty.

I guess my first question would be, does restarting mastercam/the pc fix it?
if the corruption is in the database the answer is no, if it is because of a memory leak then yes, however the leak could occur in other programs as well.

Toolpaths, memory buffering should be set to 90% or so

mine was set to 50%.  I just bumped it up. I don't know how it got set so low.

Thats the system default, at least 70% I used 90%

Yes, that's correct, Cnc added a call to combine views to repair file, if you call combine views PRIOR to generating geometry it should work.
The issues is with arcs and combine views.

That's probably what bit me in the ass with my file then.?.

I'll have to keep that in mind.

I'll have to pay closer attention to this.  I've heard the term "memory leak" but I guess I don't know what that is for sure. this computer was just purchased from solidbox this year. I had the same problem on my last computer, but it was so old, that a memory leak would not have surprised me.  It would surprise me on this computer, though.

Memory Leak refers too when there is an error in the programming,  i.e. the programmer allocated memory and did not delete it, now the available memory has shrunk. This also causes UNDEFINED behavior, which is what you are seeing.

The official answer was that there is an option not to combine views and it is working as intended, maybe we can get Mastercam to change it in the future..

I started a topic about it on the mastercam forum

increasing the allocated memory appears to have fixed it for me.  Thanks!

You're welcome,
in regards to repair file and combine views , Mastercam has a fix coming in one or two updates as per QC.
