how do i stop the part moving around in simulation?

[charliex2]

i swear before i've managed to get the part not to move around when in simulation and the tool moves instead, but for the life of me i can't repeat it ? 

cheers!

Try here:

yeah i thought that too ,what am i doing wrong?

[seth.madore]

You don't happen to be testing out Machine Sim at the same time, are you?

[charliex2]

yes i have the machine simulate it on too , which while we are at it , it'd be nice if the simulator remembered positions and options between runs 🙂

so i am guessing even though the model/tool option for view is active, it doesn't do anything in machine simulate mode?

[seth.madore]

That is correct. Machine simulation will always have the part moving around in the XY

[charliex2]

ok yeah i clicked off the machine node, but i guess it still stays there regardless, and with the view option still being accessible it seemed like it ought to do something and i knew i'd done it before.

cheers

Do you have to uncheck the machine simulation beta in preferences or is there a checkbox or option somewhere to disable machine simulation (ie part moving XY) in the setup? It can be useful sometimes but at the moment it is a huge distraction for me. 

[charliex2]

either turn it off or remove  the machine from the setup in cam,  then the drop down for view works.
