[mfg-smartcam] lost data

[Mueller, Dana]

Hello,

 

I encountered a problem yesterday as I was finishing a long program.I am using SC Freeform V10.0. After programming a pocket with islands, my computer locked up and I was forced to restart .The Error Message read: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error,Program C:\sm10\system\ffm.exe Abnormal program Termination. I had saved the program at several points during the programming and was confident that I could return to the point of the last saved tool path. When I tried to recover my program, the file did not have any data saved. The file name remained but it stated that there was  0kb in the file. The job file had data but the program file was empty. After reprogramming the part again, I got to the section where I had the problem and tried it again. The computer locked up and I lost all data again.Same error message! Our engineering group recently upgraded from ProE 2001 to ProE wildfire and I am wondering if the upgrade may be causing the problem. The previous upgrade to Pro E 2001 did cause a problem with surfaces and through this forum, I was fortunate to receive a fix . The ProE config files needed to be changed.  I am also having problems importing IGES files created from the new version of ProE. I routinely import iges files by clicking file, import,then find file needed and either wireframe or surface then accept. Now it tells me that I cannot import the file and must try using camcon to import a file. This will work, but is not the preferred way to import files. I also had a new graphics card installed and this all started soon after. Coincidence ? I am trying to look at all angles. If anyone has had this problem and can offer some help please reply.

 

Thank You
