Summary


Details

An Operation is verified using Tool Path Animation . The Tool and the IPW are not displayed, though. The Tool is, also, invisible when it is edited. What could be causing this?


Solution

There are numerous reasons why tools may become invisible. One way this can happen is through the Layers Visible in View utility. This utility is sometimes used to hide layers in a drawing view. If the current view has the Work Layer made invisible than the Tool and the IPW will also be hidden. A quick way to check this is to change the current Model View in the Part Navagator . Double clicking one of the other views will change the current view.

If the Layers Visible in View is causing the trouble than the issue will be resolved.


To fix a view with this issue press 'Menu -> Fomat ->Layers Visible in View -> Reset to Global -> Cancel' .  It is important that the Cancel button is pressed and not the OK button.  Pressing OK will keep the settings as they were. Only pressing Cancel will work.
