CMS locks up when trying to union more than 2 3D parts
Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2023 8:11 pm
If I try to union >2 3D shapes, {sometimes] CMT freezes. Sometimes it recovers in a few minutes, other times it takes over an hour.
More often that not, it never unfreezes (after 12 hours I give up), and I have to restart it, losing anything I was working on since the last save.
Very frustrating.
Some objects seem to union ok, others will never union. If I restart it and try again on the same objects, it freezes again, whereas other objects in the same session union ok.
It also at times refuses to 3D fillet even simple objects.
Even when it does fillet something, it rarely shows what it's about to fillet, or how much it's going to fillet until after it's done it. Or not done it.
And while I'm bitching about things, if I import a STEP file from say, McMaster Carr, it comes in with all sorts of strange lines sticking out of it, and can't be edited.
If I import the same file into AutoCAD, it comes in as a block, which can then be exploded and edited.
Ideas, anyone?
