Missing Flip Operation

Post by Bill OConnell »

We were cutting some parts of which three required a flip operation. We got through the first two parts fine but when we scanned the third part we got an error saying label not found. I looked at the code (attached) and saw that the \"IF\" statement was there for the part and had the right label number complete with a CALL to the subroutine, however, the subroutine was nowhere to be found in the program.
IF [FILENAME$=\"R01P0002\"] THEN M82L4
IF [FILENAME$=\"R01P0001\"] THEN M82L5
IF [FILENAME$=\"R01P0006\"] THEN M82L6
A string search for \"L4\" only returns the IF statement not any subroutine. A search for \"L5\" or \"L6\" will find both the IF statement and the subroutine.

We are running v4.63 of Rolling Nest.

Any suggestions?

Hi Bill

I occasionally get the same error. You could try upgrading to V4.71 failing that, we manually skip through the code to the line refering to the flip-op part and it executes just fine.

Nick,

Thanks for the feedback, but part of the problem is that there is no code for the flip operation on that part. It is just missing. What we did was go back to the selection part of rolling nest, excluded everything but the part we wanted, ran the program, skipping over the primary cut and going to the flip operation. We'll see how that worked but a visual inspection indicated that it was off slightly, which we will either fix by hand or re-cut the part.

Bill,
I had this problem once, along with the bad flip operation \"labels.\"

Haven't seen it again since the upgrade to RN 4.67. We're on 4.71 now.

Regards,
Dave
