Hi all,
I am not able to post g-code with ProNC with WF4.0, build M050.
I create a sequence, then click CL Data>Output>select the sequence>File>Done and then name the file (as seq0001.ncl.1)and save it in my working directory (which is a folder containing the ProE and ProNC models).
Then I click CL Data>Post Process>select the NCL file>check or uncheck MACHIN>Done. If I leave MACHIN unchecked, the list of PPs comes up and as soon as click on the mine (UNCX01.P41), the list just disappears and the g-code is not posted. If MACHIN is checked (meaning PP selection comes from the NCL), I just see the flash of a DOS window and the g-code is still not posted.
After a lot of poking around, on a whim, I copied the NCL file into the same directory as the PP, and suddenly both methods (MACHIN checked and unchecked) could post g-code.
I purposely set updirectories in config.pro (such asgpostpp_dir D:\ProENGINEER_Root\NC_GPost) to keep the clutter to a minimum. I just don't accept that I tohave to drag the NCL into the PP directory every time to post g-code; what a time-waster. Please tell me this is not normal...
I've tried everything I could think of; different directories, different PPs,different MFG models built from scratch, etc. I even removed all of my customizations (i.e. config.pro, tree.cfg, starting directory), but it didn't make any difference. The only thing I haven't tried is to reinstall ProE; I'm hoping that there is something that I've overlooked before I go that far.
Thanks in advance.
