Profile Modeler Question

I run into this very wierd problem when I tried to generate a CNC code in the profile modeler. It said that an error occured and it cant generate CNC code. I had some pieces that I ran before and I generated code with no problem now if I wanted to generate code for some of the old pieces the same thing happened. I have no idea what is wrong and what I did different. The matterial is within limits and tools are correct. Still I cant solve the problem. I even restarted the CNC. Any advice?

When you have the tool group selected and applied to the region, do you go up to the verify tool path icon? If so does it say verify tool path has completed successfully\"

Justin,

yes it verifies the tool path successfully. That's why I dont understands why it cant write the CNC code. I have done some pretty cool and hard stuff on PM and so far I've had no problem. Anyways let me know if you need more info. I would be checking the forum even when I finish work.

What Version of Control Nest do you have? I set up a tool group with all your tool settings and created the CNC file just fine.

I just updated it to version 5.36. Same thing. The funny thing is that I cant create the CNC code for parts that I already did in the PM. Some of them will generate CNC code and some of them wont.

Open your windows explorer on the control. Go to D:\\DATA\\Profile Modeler directory. Right click and go to properties. Check this folder and make sure it is not marked READ ONLY. I ran a test and if it is marked READ ONLY it will not right the code for any files. Also check the files inside this folder, if they are marked read only and you load the same one back up and try to recreate the CNC file it will not create because it can not over write the existing file with the same name.

Justin I will try and see what I can do to make it work. It is strange. We use network connection with the machine and may be some of the information in the *.twd file got corrupted. I will try to transfer it with USB flash drive. I will let you know what happened
