No tool choice in advanced multiaxis

[spinner01453]

When I choose advanced multiaxis, I am prompted to enter a new nc name which then adds a new operation group. I am then prompted to select a user interface and when I make a selection, my new operations group disappears with no new screen appearing to make tool choices, etc. I am running X2 SP1 and my video card is an nvidia geforce 7600 gs. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum01453!

 

A similar thing happens to me. If you accept it, will it leave an op there at all?

 

If no, I am stumped. I would then guess that this be would be graphics related.

 

If yes, the missing tool work around that works for me for now it to click on the Tool first and then back out of it and then hit the parameter button to complete your work.

Thanks for your reply Mike. The op disappears as soon as I accept a user interface and there is no other window visible to access tools and other parameters. I have tried opening the parameters in the op before accepting the user interface but it won't allow me to do this. I have also checked the forum for acceptable video cards and the nvidia geforce cards ( I have the nvidia geforce 7600 gs ) seem to be named as good to use, so I am now at a loss!

An upgrade to X2_MR1 would help. These toolpaths

work pretty good in the latest maintenance release.

 

You might want to check your Confile/Files page

and make sure the paths to your Chook and Apps folders are correct.

These advanced mulitaxis toolpaths are really

chooks and incorrect paths in Config/Files

can cause problems.

Thanks for your input gcode. I have upgraded to MR1 with service pack 1 but am still having the problem and I have also tried running the advanced multiaxis chook directly with the same result. I will try looking further into the paths and perhaps there are other ideas out there!

I'd help spinner, but I don't have a 5 axis license.

 

How's it going for yah? I see your movin' up in the world.

 

Welcome to the forum. Lot's of info and help is at your fingertips.

Hi Guy. I was wondering earlier just how long it would be before I heard from you. I really don't need to do anything with 5 axis, only the 4th, but I am looking into any and all ways of getting the job done. I'm just not having any luck with the advanced multiaxis feature!

Spinner or anyone else that has had this problem,

 

Did you ever figure out the fix for this issue? We are having the exact same problem on one of our users PC's.
