Volume disappears ?

[JesperLindgren]

Hey guys..

I have a strange problem.

Sometimes when creating a mill volume path , it can´t be mill because the mill volume suddently disappears.

I´ve had this problem a couple of times , but not every time.

I make the seq , choose the volume (which appears in solid) , and everything seems okay. But when i try to play the path , the volume is gone.

You can still see it in the modeltree , but not select it on the model..

In this case i´ve fix it with a mill vindow , but still real frustrated..

Have anyone had similar problems ?

Yes I have had this problem what i found is that if you go to

VISABILITY

UNBLANK

OK

it will unblank your volumes

Still the same problem..

I can see the volume , but not select it 😞

Try make a volume path on my attached part , and you will se the problem...

You had me confused for a few minutes

i had to go into the seq setup and add the top surface as the "top surface"

Hey Nick..

Thank´s a lot , THAT help me out 🙂

I´ve never used "top surfaces" before...

I thought that it by default , will mill parralel to the retract plane.

Hey Jesper,

This is just one more of Pro/NC nasty bugs... I know it since WF2.0

They are too busy making Pro/NC far better than the competition... :sarcasm:
