Swarf operation error: operation not compatible with current setup

[epm]

hi

i have a 5-axis machine, and last week i did a project using the swarf operation. today when i try to edit this operation or create a new on, i get an error dialog box:  

"The chosen operation is not compatible with the current setup"  [OK]

i double checked my configs, no changes, not sure where to get more information to troubleshoot this issue.

regards

hi @epm 

Have you selected the right machine in the setup?

I tried it with a genric 5 axis machine and there doesn't seem to be any issues

hi

it should be since it worked before today ...

i exported the machine definition, attached (i added the .xml extension)

i just tried the generic and it seemed to work...

does the post processor have any effect at this stage??

when i first started using fusion, i just did add a new machine and filled in the details ...

the generic one seems to have more config for the a & c axis ... i don't know how to enable this config for the one i did for the felder??

hi

i think i figured it out,  when i created my machine i did not load a template and just the default which seems to be for a 3-axis machine ... i "loaded" the generic template and now i get the other 2-axis configurations

it was the fact it did seemed to work last week that confused me

i will use the 5-axis template and go from ther e

thanks for your help
