Problem with Finish Parallel Surface tool path

[Code_Breaker]

I have three surfaces--one radius, and two angular. I created one toolpath OK, the second gave me this error message "Machine compatibility warning: Machine does not have a programmable combination of linear/rotary axes to perform this operation"

 

When I click OK MCX2 crashes ...

 

 

Anybody knows what to do?

more info is needed

Don check your c-plane and make sure you did not by mistake pick a wrong c-plane for the operation.

First thing I checked, Ron ...

 

Have to do one at a time, shut down and do the next ... even happened when I changed the comment in one of them ...

Try reselecting the machine defintion, or select another machine definition. Then reselect your machine defention and then regenerate the toolpaths.

yup, machine def has likely gone corrupt, it was an issue in X2

What is the best way of doing this?

The way that works

 

Sometimes you can just reselect your machine def and reload it, most times you have to select a different machine and then go back in and reselect your machine again.

 

In a couple of rare cases I have had to do a file >> save as >> rename the file, reload a different machine, then the correct machine again, then resave as the original file name.

 

The one that works is the one I'd sugest

[gcode]

From the Files page of your Operations Manager

Select replace, and reselect the machine definiton

Every MCX files has an internal copy of this machine def and it sometimes gets corrupted.File/replace will overwrite the internal copy with a fresh uncorrupted copy.

thanks ... time will tell ... if I have that problem again, "I'll be back" (using the Govenator's voice)
