Title: SS losing Data on Long NC Files
Post by: kencor1 on May 17, 2010, 05:41:06 PM
Has anyone had problems with the SS and running extremely long nc files?  I try to run a long nc file and the SS will lose data at the very begining of the program. I cut the NC file in half and it is running fine.  Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? I does not happen on shorter files. :-\

Thanks,
Tom

Really large files can give Mach fits. You can turn off the toolpath display to free up some processor resources. Also, don't try to run a file off a network drive. Brian has moved the graphics to its own thread in Mach 4 so everyone shoudl see a dramatic improvmetn with large file but it will be months before V4 is out.
