mill turn right spindle prob?

[Cbgstyles]

Hi I have a problem with a mill-turn program I'm doing , hoping someone can help me ?

I completed all ops on left chuck , then did a stock transfer , then went to do a simple facing op on the right chuck , and I get a error saying

(this tool is programmed to cut stock in left spindle )? I know what it means but I don't have a option to choose the right spindle in the

parameters  (axis combination/ spindle origin ) page ? I should be able to pick the right spindle ? but only the left chuck is highlighted

I'm using Mastercam 2017

What product are you programming this in? Lathe or MT. Have you defined your tool to work on the Right Spindle? Is it a B Axis machine or a Stick machine?

Edit:

 

Okay you have a good machine picked let me dig a little.

 

Well you have something odd going on that is for sure.

 

Okay reopened the file and it looks like you did define a good process. Odd the Right Axis Combinations are not working.

Try changing your Axis Combination in the Operation.

I cant it wont let me change axis combinations ? even though I have all the axis combinations set in the machine definition correctly, I don't know if its just the demo version or what?

I had this happen a while ago. Nothing I tried would fix it. In the end I gave up, and recreated all the toolpaths from scratch. It sure cost me a ton of time
