error engraving/contour

[Shawn Wentzel- Wenteq Inc]

I keep getting an error in X7 while using a contour. I engrave the softjaws with a part # and use boxfont font in Mastercam. I turn off compensation and lead in. I use a engraving tool and scratch the surface -0.005".

 

I keep getting an error saying invalid tool motion. This happens for new files as well as X6 saved as X7.

 

I chain using a window and click a start point- same as x6. My chain options from what I can tell are all the same.

 

If I manually click each chain and proceed when I reach a branch point, it works fine, but this takes a while.

 

Anyone know a solution?

This same error message was a bug in facing, in previous versions.

(one way style, with depth cuts) The posted code was fine.

 

Maybe it's resurfaced in contour paths, what's your posted code look like?

posted code was fine.

 

I think it had to do with the start point being on the same location as an endpoint. There are more chains- or segments when I am using the window selection because it doesnt figure in the branch points, it just makes a new segment.
