Fusion hangs when using boring bars

[Luke.Hicks430]

Something that has cropped up for me repeatedly over the last week: Fusion hangs when trying to implement an internal boring tool in a turning operation. I can't even submit a crash report. I have restarted Fusion every time. I have restarted my PC a couple times. Everything is fine, even when defining the boring tool, and define the operation, but when I click 'OK' to generate the toolpath, it hangs. You can see in the screen capture, in the lower right corner, is says 'Updating stock boundaries (99.9%) ...'

Has anyone else had this problem? 

Have you found a solution that's better than re-installing Fusion?

Thank you in advance!

@Luke.Hicks430 Could you attach a sample file where this is happening?

Unfortunately, due to NDAs, I can't use the exact file that is crashing.

When I tried duplicating the problem in another file, it wouldn't do it.

Oddly, when I rebuilt the original part completely, the problem persisted, and, unfortunately, the NDA still applies.

Finally I took working file and re-dimensioned the solid to match the customer's part, there was no crash. So I have no idea what caused the problem and I have no idea as to what fixed the problem.

So.... Thanks?

I have the same problem; boring bar crashes fusion 360 and its stuck at 0.0% tool path generation but at 99.9% Updating stock boundaries. Anyone have a fix? I cant generate gcode for the parts.

I can privatly share source file if that would help; best way?

@mhoog @Luke.Hicks430 By any chance do either of you have in-process stock turned on? If yes then that is a known issue one of our teams is working to fix right now. In which case a temporary workaround would be to turn it off.

I do not; i only have transparent stock enabled.

I will PM you a Public Link to the file that has the issue; would this help?

I have copied the tool paths from a older working file and it generates the tool path fine in that old version but on this new file it keeps crashing. Its the last 2 operations that cause the issue.

@mhoog Yes, please send me the link. I will take a look. The OP does seem to have in process stock turned on in the pic now that I look at it so your problem might be a separate one.

@mhoog I can't replicate the crash. I'm using the latest Fusion update 2.0.9313. I was able to generate the roughing op correctly. To generate the finishing op i had to move the outer radius to above the inner radius.

I am using that same version of fusion 360 on windows 10.

I am using the directions on the link below to turn off the "in process stock" but there is no check mark next to it so i think its off. As soon as I suppresses the op and try to generate the tool path it crashes. Is there a different method to force stock off?

@mhoog your in-process stock is turned off and I still can't replicate your issue. Maybe try rebooting your computer and then regenerating them. Sometimes that works in stopping chronic crashes.
