Cant simulate machine

[nubrandao]

why cant simulate? some toolpaths it simulate with machine, but when i use direction, it appears an error. is something missing?

Hi

You cannot use the clearance heights option with multiaxis machining, even if its just 3+2 positioning

Safe retracts should be set to M91 in most cases

But, that is in the NC program, Im trying to simulate machine only.

If i delete NC should it Run? Is because the toolpath with that error is inside the NC program with clearance height activated?

[a.laasW8M6T]

The machine simulation uses the post processor and associated post properties to simulate

If you had set it to clearance height in an NC program then machine simulation will use the last set post properties, hence why it fails.

It would also fail to post code from the NC program as well with the same error

so, the best is to delete NC ou change the last NC from clearance heigth to M91 right?

correct, you may need to post the program from the NC program to get the setting to be saved
