AUTO DIFF

I AM HAVING TROUBLE VIEWING LARGE PARTS WITH ALOT OF ENTITIES. I USUALLY HAVE MY SETTINGS IN AUTO DIIF. AS FOLLOWS:

SETTINGS= DESIGN CONST. CHECK  ON
TOLERANCE=.001
CONSTANT GOUGE CHECK=ON  WITH TOL. OF.001

THESE SETTINGS, WITH SMALLER PARTS, ALLOW ME TO VIEW MY PART WITH ALL ENTITIES(HOLES, POCKETS,CHAMFER,ETC.) SHOWN WITH STOCK IN THEM AFTER I HIT THE PLAY PATH BUTTON.

WITH A LARGER PART WITH SAY A FEW HUNDRED HOLES, POCKETS, IT IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO VIEW IT IN THIS WAY. IT ACTUALLY WON'T EVEN RUN ANY TOOLS UNLESS I UNCHECK THE CONST. GOUGE CHK. BOX OFF & THEN IT WILL JUST SHOW THE WORKPIECE. THIS IS AGGRAVATING SINCE I CANNOT SEE IF I HAVE MISSED MACHINING ANY  HOLES OR POCKETS.

I HAVE YET TO FIND ANY ANSWERS OTHER THAN IT COULD BE AN MEMORY ISSUE.

I AM RUNNING WINDOWS XP,WILDFIRE 2.0,PENTIUM R 4 CPU 2.80 GHZ 2.0GB RAM.

I HAVE TRIED CHANGING MY CUT TOL. & SEVERAL OTHER SETTINGS BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP.

DO I NEED MORE MEMORY? CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

Re: AUTO DIFF

Hi Andrew

How big is the part?

How many features?

1. Constant gouge in V6.0 is dramatically improved, so don?t fret.

2. Could be model tolerances

3. Compare by region may help

4. Have you look at compare by region?

5. Zooming in after for a closer look should work.

6. Check out previous post AUTODIFF >>>Author>>> ENGMFG1
there is some good discussion there.

The largest part I did using Vericut was 150 x 260 inches, with 400+pockets.

that was 9 (earth) years ago.

So Vericut should perform one way or another.

If you still have trouble, PM me&  I'l see what I can suggest.
