After following the long installation process to the letter. I am struggling to wrap my head around the operation and there seems to be no videos on this specifically.
I can run the tool change test fine. But when I load a real job i constantly get the “Sub-programe file not found” error.
I have read the other messages regarding this and have moved all the sub-programs to my main folder along with the actual program, I have even also done the reverse and moved the job to the sub-routines folder just in case and in both instances still get the same error.
I am running Onefinity Masso RapidChange ATC Arc (mm) post processor and have made no modifications to this file.
Having successfully run the test file means the hard part is behind you.
The error you are getting will likely be due to the numbering of the tools, and making sure you regenerate and use the new subroutines after modifying tools/numbers. That is where I would start.
As suggested by 1F, Don at RapidChange will get you up and running, and like 1F support, he works 24/7
Don from Rapid Change was amazingly helpful in solving the issue which was down to the fact that one of my tools had a higher number and wasn’t defined in Rapid change tools database. Once added it also solved the can’t find file issue as the tool file for that tool number was also now visible.
I’m getting the same error, but it does not involve the ATC. I have put all the sub programs in the same folder but the main program is what gives the errors. I can bring up the subs with no problem, but the main will not load. what could be wrong in the main program that produces that error?
When I load the main file, I get an error message that says “Error-sub program not found” in red letters., and the screen is blank, not showing any tool path. I can go to edit, and the code appears. I can load any of the sub programs, and they will show a tool path.
Yes, all the files are in the same folder. I even tried putting them at the bottom of the main file with no avail. It has to be something in the main program that jams things up.
It is most likely a tool numbering issue/mismatch.
Check very carefully that the tool numbers that your main file will call, match those you have set up in both Masso and the WebUI, or Masso Rapidchange ATC if using that setup.
wait are you saying that I can only use numbers 1 through 5 on any job or else I will get the sub folder not found error? So any time I need to use a different tool number than 1 through 5 I have to go back and renumber that tool and put it in a pocket and change everything in the web ui and vectrics as well? If that is true then holy YIKES.
OK so that was the solution. I had a form tool listed as #107 in my tool paths. On a hunch I saved the other three toolpaths that Masso and rapid change web UI agreed on and left out the #107 toolpath. Then I plugged it into the Masso and eureka it worked. Suddenly it could find the sub program. So, I have an idea. After running the parts that are numbered the way Masso likes them to be. I will turn off the tool changer go to manual and run the non-numbered 1-4 tool paths. I will do this in a little while and let you know how it worked. If it does, it could save a shitload of work switching numbers back and forth between the web UI and all that rigamarole. See you in a while.
Nope I switched off the tool changer set to manual, and tried to run the #107 tool manually but the Masso said “cannot find sub program” again. So, I ended up just renumbering the form tool in vectrics to # 5 ran the program and it told me to load it manually so I did and it works, but I am still seeking a way to run my programs without the tool changer and without Masso asking me for a sub program for those odd jobs where I do not want to renumber stuff. Anyone know how to do that?
