Tailstock is Not Showing Up

Recommended Posts

Was programming a tailstock part on our ST-10, I have only programmed for a tailstock once before; years ago. I am using 2023, btw.

Define the tailstock in stock parameters, it is checked to be shown, and I can see it as I am in the parameters menu.

But every time I leave that menu, it disappears. Both in my normal graphics window and  in verify.

I loaded up the old one, and it shows the tailstock. I even checked every parameter/option I could think of; all the same between the two programs.

 

I'm about to safe/dry run the program regardless, but I would like to know what I'm missing in case this happens again.

 

TIA

Where is the operation arrow at in the operations manager? If before the tailstock operation then it will not be shown in the Lathe file until the arrow is after, but not at the end when you retract the tailstock. The arrow would need to be somewhere in the middle here you have the part supported with the tailstock. You are on the right track trust your gut not the cartoon world that Mastercam is.
