activate a different group

[Columbo™]

Maybe I'm missing something...... I have four groups, two of which are mill and two are lathe. I am trying to access the parameter for a lathe operation. I keep getting this error.....

 

"Feature not available: Mill cannot access lathe operation"

 

 

What am I missing? ........ I got it to switch this morning..... now its a no-go......

 

 

Thanks

Move the "Red arrow of Doom" into the lathe group

[Columbo™]

Did that John... Shows it to be active but get that error. The Lathe operations are gray as if not active but the red arrow is in that group....Anything else????

Are you on a Nethasp that doesn't have lathe activated on it?

[Columbo™]

We have a nethasp and it shows the following....

 

 

Active / Max / Avail / Product name

2 /6 /4 /Mill level 3

1 /4 /3 /Lathe level 1

2 /4 /2 /Solids

0 /6 /6 /MultiAxis

0 /1 /1 /ProE

 

Looks active to me....... I even re-started MC.... Same result

Had to bring the red arrow one operation at a time to the next group (after one in question) then one operation at a time back up then the operation folders changed to yellow where I then was able to go into the parameters. I guess its a MC BUG......

 

Thanks JP

Mill and Lathe or Mill and Wire dont always play well together inside the same file.

Very odd....... I can't get the problem to repeat. I guess when your in a rush the system knows it and doesn't want to play.

I get that BS all the time when switching between groups of mill and lathe in the same file. Very frustrating. Most of the time we have to have separate files for mill and another for lathe. Just one more joy to experience with the operations manager. I'm sure by version X7 or X8 these problems will be addressed.
