Warning Sign Creating Chamfer Tool Path

[oldtbone55]

I'm in the CAM learning section under the how to create a chamfer section and have followed the instructions to create a chamfer on several edges of the part sample being used but keep getting a yellow warning triangle after I finish creating the chamfer tool path. I've deleted the toolpath several times and started from scratch but I keep getting this warning, "No passes to link". Below is my file if that will help.

Thanks.

That's because you missed a very important step. When you made your Setup, you did not define the Body that you were going to be machining. The 2D Chamfer option is somewhat "model aware" and it had nothing to go on, so was only able to do a portion of the work.

That's kinda strange since the how to specifically noted not to choose body in the setup. Now that I've done that all of the machining steps have a red warning label next to them. Does this mean I would have to start over and choose body in the setup? I went back to setup and edited it to choose the body but then the red warning labels showed up.

OK. I went back through each machining process and clicked on OK and the toolpaths were recreated and the warning label disappeared. The chamfer toolpath is now as it should be.

Thanks for your help.

In the video, @mike.mattera talks about the importance of selecting the body that you are machining, especially if there are multiple parts on screen. He does not say that nothing should be selected. It's a simple misunderstanding..

In all cases, you want to have the active model selected (as well as visible via the light bulb).
