R28 corruption issues

Hi,

I have only seen this in R28, and it's been several times now.

Situation: Working on complex large part.  Close Catia and cannot open the process.  Run CATDUA- still cannot open it.  I can open all of the CATparts and CATProducts, but not the process.

Solution:  I back up often.  I rename the CATProcess, truncating something like "RevNC" to the end of the file name.  I grab my backup CATParts and CATProducts and copy/overwrite the files in the folder.  Voila...I can open the process.

It is very odd, but it has happened 3 times now in the last few months since switching to windows 10 and R28.  Each time scares the crap out of me....as I do backup every day, but losing even a day's work is a real drag.

 

So far, I have used my "trick" to save the process....

From here out, I will not be using R28....going back to R27 until I have to go to R29.  It seems the even numbered releases have always been bad.

Anyone else seen this?

Hi Bryan,

I have heard from people that upgraded that good programs in 2017... computed differently, and need to revalidate and make repairs.  2017 works, a

the only issues I have with 2017 are

1. bodies used as check in MAFC must be visible of get a nasty error

2. COTT when using the new center graph button on analyze geo  (click OK to terminate)

3. Concentric is different when switching from climb to conventional.

 

I can live with that.

Is the any must have items in 2018? 2019?  I don't know

 

Dave

 

PS,   regarding your issues..... YIKES!

Yeah, I'm going back to R27 from here out until my customers go to R29.



I have seen the same issues you mention.



Another bug in R28 is regarding drill patterns...I use them a lot. The patterns will update if the model updates....but the MO's linked to those patterns do NOT update! Have to recreate the pattern completely....



I have seen the concentric issue....a pain in the ass....so I just create a mirrored model for opposite hand parts.



I don't use check bodies with MAFC...I don't think I ever have, so I have not seen this.
