Toolpath disappears in op manager...

[Kelly Burns]

Toolpath disappears in operations manager, but a regen shows that it is still there. I was messing with the opertation defaults and when I came back out it was gone from the manager.

Is this just another interesting feature of X, or have I found another glich?

I would go change back whatever you changed to turn it off.

WM Kelly,

 

Can you be more specific about the toolpath disappearing in the operations manager? Is it not listed in the operations manager or are you not seeing the toolpath in the graphics view when you have an operation selected in the operations manager? If you can't see the toolpath in the graphics view try hitting "t" to toggle toolpath display on/off. You need to be in the operations manager when you do this and it will effect any operation currently selected.

I've had that happen. Generally it's graphical

in nature. Get new graphics driver or load old driver but always save often.

Jeremy,

Wrote a rough pocket toolpath then second op was a finish flowline. I did a regen, verfied, and moved on with business. Some how after editing some parameters it would show up with a backplot, but was completly gone from the toolpath manager. Im not sure how this happened. I restarted MCam X, pulled up the file and it was still gone from the manager. I havent had this happen again so far, but it sure seems like it could be devastating if it wasnt caught.
