[To...] Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Model keeps disappearing. Any ideas? When I search "losing model" it ignores the term "model". If I search "model" by itself, there are too many instances to display. PLEASE FIX SEARCH Calypso v6.8.08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Jo...] Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Tom - I had this happened in the past and reached out to hotline but they could not figure out what it was. It was also happening on a particular measurement plan and not others. Sometimes it would stop if I created a new measurement plan but it was annoying having to do that nonetheless. Turns out there was a problem with the graphics card drivers and once I updated it, it never happened again. Give it a try. BTW, yeah new account, switch companies and I'm no longer at Waters.

[Ow...] Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 My model disappeared somewhere in the middle of 30+ years of marriage 🤣 . Luckily she can't visit this forum. 🤣 Seriously, what type of cad model extension are you using? I've read people using .igs and step (stp) have problems occasionally. I've never had problems using ACIS (sat,sab) models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ch...] Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'm not the first one suggest this but I use google search to search just the forum. Works much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we get any respect? Anyway, it is my understanding that when a model gets loaded, it is converted to an acis model, so I don't understand how the format can be related. This issue started about a month ago and customer "claims" no changes have been made to the computer, i.e. software or hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a while since I ordered a new system but, I thought you had to select which cad converter license you wanted when purchasing Calypso and if your model format wasn't created in that format, it wouldn't open it?

[To...] Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 Please sign in to view this quote. Yes, you are correct. Calypso can load acis models by default because the CAD element of Calypso runs on ACIS. When you purchase a system, you get the choice of either STEP or IGES. Everything else is $$$ No matter which file format you load, they are converted to acis (model.sab) FYI sab = standard acis binary, sat = standard acis text In the situation I posted about, the model gets loaded fine, runs fine, etc. However, occasionally, the model disappears, including the model.sab file.

[CA...] Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 A little late to the party, and not nearly at the level of most of you folks, but... I was experiencing a similar issue with several programs recently (running Cal2021 7.2.16) and I found that when I went to CAD>Modify CAD Entities...>Hierarchy the CAD model still showed up in the list but had become unchecked. I simply re-checked the model entity in the list, and the model shows up consistently again. I haven't noticed the situation returning yet, but time will tell. It did not occur to me to check the plan folder to see if the model.sab file had disappeared, so the above was my solution. And thanks again for all the useful information provided in this forum. I don't actively participate much, but I do a LOT of browsing and have learned quite a few things from you folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
