Bug when using configurations?

Post by Andy Birko »

I'm having a problems regenerating engraving toolpaths when using a design table and the configuration manager.

Steps are as follows:

Open Solidworks and load part.
Go to VM and generate the toolpaths.
Go to configuration manager and select a different configuration from the design table
Go to VM and re generate toolpaths
Now, when VM is regenerating toolpaths, it seems that all of them regenerate properly except the ones I've got for engraving which generate for the previous configuration.

By closing the part and re-opening, I'm able to generate the correct toolpaths. After that, any new configurations use the engraving toolpaths from the first gen.

Ideally, toolpath data would be stored with each configuration as well rather than having to regen.

Thanks Andy for the input. We have this in our list of things to do. Should be implemented sometime early next year.

Excellent.

Are you aware of the bug in the regeneration or am I doing something wrong?

I can send you the file or post screen shots if you like but I'd rather not post the file on a public forum.
