All,
I am working on a factory layout and have launched the Machine Analysis tool in ACAD Mechanical 2014, but I don't see the dashboard displayed. The analysis seems to run correctly, as I can hover over the indicators and see the machine utilization percentage and can right click to select the Optimization>>Add to Dashboard option, but nothing shows up. Also, when I generate the spreadsheet report, there is data, so I know the tool is working
Haven't spotted anything in the program options, but that doesn't mean that I didn't miss it. Has anyone else experienced this and / or have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any assistance and have a most blessed day!
Peace,
Pete
Hi there,
Please find the file %appdata%\\Autodesk\ACA 2014\enu\FactoryPreferences.xml.
The content of the file should look like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ApplicationPreferences xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SelectionMode>TopDown</SelectionMode>
<OptimizationWindowLeft>456</OptimizationWindowLeft>
<OptimizationWindowTop>227</OptimizationWindowTop>
<MachineWindowLeft>378</MachineWindowLeft>
<MachineWindowTop>224</MachineWindowTop>
</ApplicationPreferences>
Maybe the value (e.g.224 as above )of MachineWindowTop or MachineWindowLeft is too large. Please change MachineWindowTop and MachineWindowLeft to small value( 163.2) to see if it fixes your issue.
Thanks,
