Pc-dmis Crash

[BANDY]

Ok, I was about to finish programing this F-35 part when Dims crashed and everytime I try to open Prg it crashes again. PCDLRN has encountered a problem msg. It seems I just waisted three hours of work! My boss not going to like me when he comes in... Anybody had this problem before?

I have 4.0 and have had problems with the program crashing. But I have always been able to pull DMIS back up. I also save the program frequently. I hope you have done the same.
Good Luck!

I can open PC-DMIS and open all other prg. I made before accept the one I just made. I was inspecting the part too, is there a way to find the dims inspectionreport in the dmis directory someplace?

[JamesMannes]

I don't believe you can open up the dims inspection report, unless it is saved somewhere with something other than .rpt. Is DIMS a standard extension that can be opened with some other software?

As a side note to the program problem. Try to delete the probe file and then re-open? Also, if you are using CAD, get rid of the CAD file and if the program re-opens just re-import?

Also, are you running XP service pack 2? If so, make sure the hotfix is installed (see Wilcox website). It seems to have reduced some of my PCDLRN issues.

I also still have daily PCDLRN problems that I must learn how to live with. So at the end of every day, I wrote myself a little batch program that copies all PRG and CAD files to a place on the file server. It has saved my *** a few too many times.

3.7MR3 is very stable. Best version since 3.2063 (IMNSHFO). I have had less than 1 pcdlrn crash per month since I started using it. But I rarely have CAD files, so that may be a factor.

My $0.02. You were overcharged. Refunds are against policy. We appologize for any inconveniece caused by our greed and arrogance.

Well, there is unfortunately no going back for me. I am running NC. And every new release includes major improvements that I need. Right now I can not even go back to 4.0, although that would be the last thing I wanted to do.

After deleting your probe file, you should be able to at least open the program....then rebuild your probe file.
This has worked for me almost everytime........Its frustrating to have to rebuild the probe file but instead of losing 3 hours programming time, you'll only lose 1/2 hour rebuilding your probe file.

This is making me wary of using 4.1
I have it installed on all machines but we're not using it yet......I think I'll stick with 3.7 MR3.............This is yet another example of why the SMA's are nothing more than us users getting the shaft!!!!!.....

If the program crashes on open, you may be in screwed. The only chance is to delete the .CAD file and see if it opens. Sometimes it's the CAD file that gets corrupted instead of the program. If it opens after that, then just reimport the cad like before.

Hotfix?

Where is the "hotfix" located?
I guess I going to save my programs with two different names and hope only one of them gets corupted.
