CN hangs when nesting profiled MDF doors
I have a kitchen, with profile modeled doors, that hangs whenever I nest more than on door/drawer front at a time. I proofed a few different speeds and feeds, with a single drawer front, and that worked as expected. But I can't get a full sheet of these nested without the computer just stalling at the "processing toolpath information for region 1" dialog or the "creating display" dialog window. I checked the resource monitor, and though the cpu duty is only about 1/3 capacity, and only half the memory is in use, and the HD is largely empty, this machine just can't seem to get out of its own way. Any Insights?

Re: CN hangs when nesting profiled MDF doors
I will say it takes more than 4 minutes to nest just one on a sheet, and although I've given the computer time to complete the function, it never completes a nest of more than one piece with the profile.

Stuart,
Can you create an export with the job of doors loaded and send it to program@thermwood.com?

Re: CN hangs when nesting profiled MDF doors
Clint, sure thing. For the record, I left the control on over night and it DID eventually choke. "out of memory" dialog window was up when I got in this morning. Any advice from anyone who replaced their RAM? I'd like to max it out now, so I don't have to deal with this. Whats the maximum amount of (and highest speed compatible) with the motherboard? New RAM shouldn't upset the hardware pixies, right?

Easiest and cheapest thing is buying Desktop Control Nesting. It'll free up your controller for running code and use an office computer that is usually more robust especially if you have a 20 year old controller like mine.

Re: CN hangs when nesting profiled MDF doors
Our control is less than ten years old, and I likely have some extra ram around here any how.
I just wonder if anybody here has done any significant hardware upgrades, and their experience with them. Incompatibility pitfalls, sufficient boosts from one component over another, etc...

Re: CN hangs when nesting profiled MDF doors
we have upgraded the ram from 2 gigs to 4 gigs and replaced the hard drive with a SSD. i noticed the change from the SSD more then the ram. we had to mess around in windows to cap the available ram to 3 gigs to get the intime kernel working. i don't remember the exact process as this was a few years ago. i would recommend the SSD over a ram upgrade.
