Failed to Generate Toolpath Error

I am trying to bore and do simple drilling operations on a part but can't generate the toolpaths. The part (and setup/operations) were taken from another file that worked. I can't figure out why the same operations on the same model part wont work in my new program. Thanks for the help.

Tsk tsk. The issue lies in the model assembly itself, not the CAM.

Your parts are tipped .295 degrees, so CAM is not seeing that as a feature you can reach. Adjust your parts so they are sitting correctly :slightly_smiling_face:

I knew it would be something dumb like user error. Thanks Seth!

I'm having the same issue, but it happens when my model (for some reason ) loses its X-Y-Z orientation. Like, if I delete a reference line. On a toolpath that worked properly, I can reselect a X-Y reference, and it still won't regenerate.  Is that common? Id hate to have to re-draw that whole thing again.

 

Thanks

John

John, this likely isn't the same issue as the op, so if you would, please start a new thread with the issue and attach a file that exhibits this behavior or perhaps a screencast
