Just as the title suggests I moved the stock and part and in CAM it did not set off any alarms. When I click the setup, the ghosted stock is in the new position (moved to the right) but when I click on the last toolpath you can see in process stock cutting in the old location (to the left). Worth noting that this part (the one that should have moved) is component pattern. The origin part is the one in the background on the fixture, it never moved in the design, one the one in the foreground did.

 

1. Pic which clicking once on the setup, stock is in the new updated location, but no out of date warnings...

This is the setup opened, showing the stock and part is in the proper (new) place....

2. Clicking on the last valid toolpath shows in process stock AND toolpaths not located in the updated location:

3. Regenerated the toolpaths (not the pattern) and the toolpaths then moved to the correct place but the in process stock simulation did not:

4. It wasn't until I re generated the pattern itself that the stock (in process model) moved to the correct place.

I've had this happen to me as well..  Not sure why.  It seems to be random in nature.

@brandon9271 @betztechnik could either of you share a file or a screen recording of this happening? Also, if you could document the "steps to reproduce" that could help us track down (and hopefully fix) this issue.

I've only had this happen once or twice before but I'll try and
reproduce it and upload a file when it happens.
