HSM Express and 2D Adaptive Issue

[1crazyryan]

Hi, I'm having difficulties with HSM Express (Build 6.4.1.16922). When I try to simulate a 2D adaptive tool path, nothing appears on the display. The tool nor the tool-holder come up along with the time scale towards the bottom. If I use a facing or drilling tool path everything displays correctly.

Has somebody else experienced this problem? I would like to know if it's something with the program or possibly something I'm doing wrong.

I have attached a copy of the part and tool paths.

Thanks

Ryan

HSMXpress is a dead product not sure you'll get help as it is so old.

Ok, figured it out. I had to decrease the minimum ramp diameter for the size cutter I selected. The program didn't throw an error at me. I was surprised by that, it instead choose to do nothing. oops

All good now.
