"You have different tools with the same tool number" - nope

[SlaveCam]

Why am I getting this message when posting a lathe groove translate/transform? There are no different tools with the same tool number.

Not a big issue, but extra (useless) clicks (keystrokes) always irritate me...

And yes, I knooow...form filler

Same here. WTF is going on? I don't have different tools with the same T#!

You found a bug in the software in my opinion. I think it is the sub transform of the original transform in each operation. When I post just the one operation by itself with each tool I don't get the same warning. When i use the Transform operation in just one toolpath group I do. I cannot see anything you are doing wrong and this needs to be submitted to QC at Mastercam to Review. For now say no and just accept it is a false warning for your posted code. Not ideal, but will keep you moving forward.

OK I can live with that. Appreciate you taking a poke and your feedback.

I've since rebooted my laptop and the problem no longer persists.

Yes you were the original poster to the issue. Difference was he provided a file to test with so this is why having a file helps others try to help.

PGcam you can delete that file so you will have room to add files in the future.

That has been around for a while. Any two (or more) same number tools will trigger that message which is around 75% of my files.

I got an official response to this one.

Hey Ron,

 

I wrote up R-35042 to request that a developer look more into why this may be happening.

 

Thanks for sending this in,
