Simulation does not show cut in my stock

Hi, toolpaths and everything seems to work correct and I've used an imorted body from Solidworks as my stock. Actually all bodies used are imported SW models. However, when running simulation the cuts are not shown in the stock, no material is removed... This usually works when using a "fixed size box" or "relative size box" stock.

Looks like the Stock Solid is linked to another part, try doing a "Break Link" in Design Mode and then see if it will work as desired :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks, but it didn't work. It's even weirder I duplicated the pocket operation I had and made some changes and now that one shows stock as it should. But it doesnt matter if I make the exact same settings but choose the contour I want to machine on the first one the stock doesnt show. I have also tried to delete it and redo it, still doesnt work. 

Hard to see in the picture, but is the stock solid made invisible in the tree? It should be, for things to show the right way.

Hi, yes I've tried both. Visible and unvisible. When running the second Pocket operation that shows stock I can really see how the stock "turns on" and lightens up. It's also a big differense in response time between the two operations, the one that shows the stock takes a lot longer to start and you get the feeling it's more data to process.
