Title: NFS Wizards: Preview Issues
Post by: AndyG on May 22, 2011, 05:35:03 PM
I posted the below question into the general catagory and someone was kind as to suggest posting it here.

Greetings. No matter which of the NFS Wizard operations I employ, when I get to the point to Preview it, I only get a rectangle. I can manipulate the rectangle (pan, move, zoom), however it does not show the tool path. Even if I employ a Circular Pocket, or Cut Arc the Preview still shows a rectangle! ? Please help.

What NFS version are you using? The preview page now includes both a toolpath screen and a code window. With that we can tell if you are not generating code or have a toolpath display issue.

The latest version is in a sticky topic on this forum. The version number will appear at the top right corner of the first wizard screen.

Ron,

   I believe that I know what my problem was. I thank God for you and others being so willing to help. I had designated the worktable increments incorrectly. So a combination of my worktable being huge, and the part being very small made it appear that there was no part at all. I am still reading, learning and gleaning from others such as yourself.

Thank you,
Andy
