Hi All,
I downloaded the plugin for CB V1.0 64 bit ( 1.0.0.7 ) Unblocked the DLL and placed it in the plugins folder.
The Break Edges plugin shows in the plugins drop down. But if I click on it, I get the Unhandled exception Error.
I tried re downloading the plugin in case of a corrupted download., same result. other plugins I just installed work fine.
what am I doing wrong? what does this mean exactly--"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
unhandled exception error details below.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
I’ve just been going through the process of moving from
Win732bit to win10 64bit pro over the last couple of weeks.
Make sure you have the correct version, I had to do a few things
CB run in admin mode, Unblock zip file, unzip it to a folder in “My Documents”
and then copy the file or files to the CB plugin’s folder, I’m sure it’s a Permissions thing.
I just tested the plugin and it’s working ok on Win10pro.
It wasn’t plain sailing moving from Win7 to Win10 pro and took quite a bit time to
sort out.
At some point while doing the plugins and after re-checking the setting’s
for the permissions (which were ok) I warm booted the machine rather than just closing
CB and re-opening it, and everything worked.

Dave

Hi Dave,
I tried downloading again, I unblocked the zipped file then unziped it and copied the DLL into the plugins folder. ( was unblocking the dll in the unzipped folder before ) checked that the dll was still showing as not blocked. same issue, ran as administrator, as well as restarting ( warm boot ) compared permissions with other working plugins and couldn't see anything different. still not working. I'm running win 8.1 64 bit. plugin is showing as 1.0.07. and apart my name the Cambam about window is the same as yours.
is there anything I have to do before I click on the break edges in the plugin drop down to make it work? ( normally I would at least draw something and select
it then click on break edges )
Chris

Hi Chris
The plugin is working here X64 but on win 10, while going through the process
of generating some plugins for CB on X64 I’ve noticed a few things, one of which
is that the “FeedrateAdjuster” a post treatment .exe ,now requires that you press enter
in the console window to proceed, where as before (on win7) you never had too
(the console popped up briefly) and dismissed itself . The code was identical just recompiled.
I’ve adjusted those PPT that require it, here in the last few day’s.
As you can see in the pic, the plugin detects no selections, I believe that maybe in this case
that the plugin cannot access or doesn’t have the permissions to the tool or style libs.

Can’t help with Win8, but one thing you could try, is to on the .dll’s property sheet change it to run as admin as this will elevate it to Amin level and if it runs then it’s something to do with the access permissions for the “post” folder.
edit to add: or wherever you put the plugin's

Hi Dave,
While you were replying I remembered I had another PC with Win 8.1 64 bit on it so I installed Cambam and just Break edges plugin. That worked, ( no Warm boot ) just restarted Cambam. so being a technician that hates not knowing why something didn't work I added all my other plugins one by one and tested, it still works. so then I compared permissions on all the Cambam folders including the plugin folder, all looked identical.
So I uninstalled Cambam from my CAD machine and re installed, I now have all the plugins on that PC and Break Edges working just fine.

So it's Fixed and I still don't know Why. It was only the Break Edges plugin that wasn't working?

It might well have been the Tool or style libs, I forgot to back mine up before uninstalling, so reloaded my last back up, Break edges still works.

Thanks for your help, and thank you for writing the Plugin.
Chris

Hi Chiss

Glad you got it sorted, yes it bugs me too, not knowing what the issue is as well.
Happy CNC’ing

ChrisCTS · « **Reply #51 on:** February 25, 2022, 20:46:15 pm »

Hi Dave,
I found the culprit!... you must have a "Default-mm" tool folder in the tool libraries.
It doesn't have to have any tools in it, but it must be there. Deleting the "Default-in " is fine.
I like to just have the stuff I'm using so had deleted both Default-mm and inch, less stuff to sort through.
Happy now I know what it was.

Chris

Wow, Chris! Thank you for studying that enough to figure out the cause.

I'm soon going to be upgrading to a newer, faster laptop, and it will involve re-installing all my 'working' softs. CB is among them.

Chris,

Default, "happening or done because no formal choice or decision has been made"

By it's very name one should never get rid of anything "default" because it catches anything that falls through the net.

It might appear to be okay to delete "Default-in" where you are but if you used inches it would not be.

Only get rid of stuff if it causes you issues, otherwise keep it.

Is it possible to use 'break out' for deburring parts?

Specifically thin sheet. 1.5mm thick

I was hoping to use a 0.2mm chamfer as a deburr on a sheet of parts but one of the settings has a minimum of 1mm. I think this would cut too deep for my needs.

Or any other suggestions on doing this in cambam as I try and find ways to make the machine do more of the work.

Can you share your file ? I don't understand the "minimum of 1mm"

The minimum 1mm was one of the settings on the break out plugin, last box on the right. Where it says 'Start Cutting'

10mm 60' V bit

Ok, the plugin said this value can't be smaller than 1mm, so it is not a bug ..

But I'm not sure that this option is what you need

PS: I merged your topic to the Break Edge plugin topic

On hindsight for sheets with multiple parts, at least on my machine, possibly not going to work. Even after a recent bed flatten, the bed is never flat enough to get 0.2mm accurate over the entier size. Todays bed is 0.4mm out over the full sheet roughly.

Maybe in time if it gets upgraded to a skimmed full metal bed with only a thin waste board.

Thanks for the info though. I thought I'd found a shortcut for production. It's never that easy!
