Missing Machine Utilization Dashboard

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

Please give a kudos if helpful and mark as a solution if somehow I got it right.

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,
