    Solidcam bug

    Hello,

    I installed Solidcam 2016 SP0 and I have next problems:

    1.When generate multiple split operations, it generate: filename-1-1, filename-1-2, and so on, untill now it was filename-1, filename-2, and so on
    2.Limited filename lenght, I also modiified the PRC file with max_g_name_lenght=0 and still not works.

    Anybody have this problem?
    How can I resolve this?

    Thank you!

    Update to SP2 it's better . And you have an option of using the split name as file name ! Just go through the settings

    Hello,

    I've allready made this checks and split name as file name is disabled.
    I think is a bug of SP0.
    I will try SP2 and see if the problem is solved.

    I will come back with answer.

    Thank you.

    Re: Solidcam bug

    Hello,

    I installed SolidCam 2016 SP2HF3, and having not this problem anymore.
    What I can not resolve is that when I generate the g-code, the name of the codument is without spaces.
    What can I do to resolve this problem, because I can have g-code file with info in name like - 123 with clamping on 2mm - gcode name is 123withclampingon2mm.
    I also have:
    max_g_name_lenght = 0 in PRP under ;Internal params
    Even if I generate a splited operations even if I generate one operation I have same problem.

    Anybody with sollution?

    Thank you!

    EDIT:
    Found the solution with the spaces in name, in machine option(VMID file) in tab Working Style, at Gcode Output is a setting with Allow Spaces in Gcode File nad modyfied to YES.
    The problem is another one, after changing this setting, the partname in splitted files is again ti filename-1-1; filaneme-1-2 instead filename-1, filename-2.

    Anybody with solution for this?
    Even if I put back No to that setting the problem is not solved!

    Anything else?

    Thank you.

    Just for your info

    In solidcam2016 machine setup also affects your Gcode generation. Especially if you are using a 4-axis or more . You need to add machine setup in every coordinate if you add a machine setup in the beginning if not the Gcodes will be produced depends on first machine setup.
