Download Mastercam X8 Full Crack 64-bit Vs 32-bit 2
Tasha Feil
I am user support for my school district. The CAD/CAM teacher, who uses SolidWorks, recently purchased Mastercam for SolidWorks. He typically installs things himself and came to me with problems after installing Mastercam for SolidWorks. Mastercam is version x7. SolidWorks is the Education 2013 version, SP3 - 5, depending on which machines have been tinkered with.
I will be honest, I have no idea how either software works and have never used them myself. I have only been trying to fix this from a troubleshooting/software standpoint. I'd be very happy for some help or direction.
He installed SolidWorks 2013 Educational himself, on all workstations. Without the Mastercam plugin loaded, when he opens an assembly file from a mapped network drive (that the student computers ONLY Have read access to) he gets the "read-only" warning but proceeds anyway. After a few moments, the file opens and they can work. I assume they save changes to the local hard drive, or are only viewing and not changing for more of a "theory" approach.
After he installed Mastercam on all workstations, and it is loaded at startup, he does the same process and gets the same screens...until the system tries to load the associated ".sldprt" files for the assembly. Then for almost each one you receive a warning dialog titled, "Database Setup Error," with the text, "Unable to open the master database due to the following database access error: Unspecified error." You can click OK to go on but will be prompted MANY more times, for almost every single file referenced. The part names being referenced at the bottom of the screen are pointing to locally installed parts that I have verified ARE present, in the "C:\SolidWorks Data\browser\Ansi Inch\..." folder structure.
During this process, the SolidWorks Resources Monitor begins screaming that "SolidWorks" is running low on memory..." Sometimes the application will allow you to continue through all the warnings and the file will eventually complete loading. Other times it will crash SolidWorks alltogether. Still other times will yield different errors,. I have attached three screenshots of the various messages I get, and I don't always get them every time. It is not consistent.
Now, with all of that said, I have ZERO problems opening the same exact file, from one of his 64-bit machines. SolidWorks does not scream at me, and no error messages. However, our 32-bit systems do meet the specs of Mastercam. The only difference I can think of is that on the 64-bit machines SolidWorks installed as the 64-bit version .
I have done considerable troubleshooting on this issue and have found that GDI objects are not outrageously high, network and locally stored files get the same messages, and all the info related to the error messages I am seeing do not help me. GDI objects around just over 3,000 on BOTH 32 and 64-bit systems when both applications are loaded.
If I turn off Mastercam, SolidWorks will open the same files just fine and not complain at all, not even the Resource Monitor. I am loosing what little hair I still have, and would appreciate ANY insight into this issue. I even went so far as to completely wipe a machine, build it with a fresh Win 7 Pro, latest updates, and still it pukes all over itself.
So, everything works when Mastercam for Solidworks is disabled, but Mastercam support is blaming Solidworks? Has there been any progress on this issue in the past month? I noticed MC4SW hasn't been updated since May, but hopefully you're getting some kind of help form the reseller...
I Cannot find where to set up an RS232 connection.This is where you would set baud rate,delay,parity...etc I have been putting my posted programs on a thumb drive then loading them onto another pc which has Matercam and using that to send to the Haas or Fadal cncs.This works fine but we sold an old Compumill to a friend and are trying to get him rolling with Fusion360.Is it possible to set up RS232 with Fusion360? If not is there any free software out there?It was great to see a post processor for Dynapath.We posted a program and the gcode looked good.
There is no communications in Fusion. There are several free programs out there but the one I keep using is Hyperterminal. It is pretty basic but that is part of why I like it. The only downsides are you can only upload from the cnc to your computer a maximum of 500 lines, with the free version, or dnc. It works fine on my Win7 Pro 64 bit computer and is supposed to work fine with Win8.1 too. You will need to find it, possibly Hilgreave,s website, or if you have an XP computer handy, and load it. If you wish to go this route let me know and I can give you more details.
I have both HyperTerminal and AGG,s free dnc software installed and working on my computer. HyperTerminal is just so much easier to use for simple file transferes than any other free program I have tried. I also find it much easier to set up with a new machine. AGG's program is much more involved and does't like something about my cabling to one of my mills, it loads real slow to the control.
I have a FTDI USB adapter and it works fine. Here is the one I got -serial-adapter-xs880 . Just make sure you download the right driver. Best option, for a desktop, is a serial port card. Even though motherboards no longer have serial ports they still have a header to plug one into. They are only $5-$10 for a single port card.
Getting your computer to communicate with your cnc control involves getting the standard settings correct, including for the cable you are using, such as how many wires you have hooked up. Also you have to make sure your control is set correctly for how you have your cable wired. Typically you have three options on the wiring, lot's of fun! Add to that all the options in your communication software and you really start to go crazy. One thing wrong and no worky.
That's our main problem. before we are using Mastercam to generate Gcodes, then we use NClink to send Gcodes to the machines using RS232 cable. We are using Windows 7 32-bit. Now the problem, Nclink will not work on Windows 7 64-bit. How can you recommend Fusion 320 to end-user if there's no solution how to send Gcode to the Machine. Our machine is very old. we need Rs232 cable to send Gcodes. And Fusion 360 will work only in a 64-bit environment.
thanks to you. On the Side of Autodesk. They didn't know this. no recommendations. they only know the basic used for fusion 360. but in actual they didn't know how to used. even their resellers don't know how to used it
Not quite sure why only these computers and now stumped on a way to debug further. Computers are in different states so I can not just rebuild. Hoping someone out here had a similar experience and provide some direction on next steps to get this working.
You will also get an exception when you mix 32-bit and 64 bit. Windows has tools to determine if it's 32-bit or 64-bit code. There are also tools to explore the dependencies to determine if certain DLLs are missing.
I was running DumpBin and Depends and found a few DLL's that were not registering correctly. They were present but not registered. Dug a little deeper and found several windows updates for .net were failing to install. Dug in a little more and found a corrupt registry database on the offending laptops.
After properly identifying the system type, install the correct 64-bit or 32-bit graphics driver. First identify your Intel Graphics Controller to check which graphics driver you need. Then, manually download the driver for your graphics controller.
