Bug when using configurations?
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:26 am
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.
