hello everybody,

i have been using file save management to save my programs and still am having problems with catia losing guide curves and contour curves for spiral milling and sweeping on saved toolpaths! i've been re-generating and re-picking geometry and re-saving but this is getting old. has anybody had these problems and if so, can you please give me the headsup. i don;t edit my geometry and anything i create for new toollpaths i NEVER edit geometry already used in previous toolpaths so i don't understand this. i'm shooting up a flare because it's getting close (schedule-wise) to redoing everything in NCL.

well, it looks as though i had corruption in a couple of files in my directory and hopefully that might clear up my problems. i ran the files using the TOOLS-UTILITY-CATDUAV5 and it was able to check and clean whatever the problems were. i was also told (by RAND) that my files (for example 28meg size) might also be a problem since i am running them on a 32 bit computer using 3gb(4gb in box but only using 3gb) ram. i was instructed to split them up into smaller files.

Make sure you have " Store at same location as CATProcess"  option turned on.

I once had this turned off and CATIA used the same tool path for my -1 and -2 part. I think it was in R8.
