Need Help!- Simulation doesn't work in v22 demo

[sansbury]

I've been going through the Getting Started examples in the demo of v22 and can't get the simulation to work. When I try, the simulation window pops up, but all I see is a beige background, and when I hit play, nothing happens, and the progress bar doesn't move or anything.

I know I have toolpaths since I can see those in the main window, and I've tried to follow the whole thing step-by-step. Are there any "gotchas" that aren't in the documentation or something else I need to know about?

I don't know if the Demo comes with the full Predator Simulation install files. But if you find that (Predator Virtual CNC 2007 for BobCAD.msi), install it and it will fix your problem. Maybe you can download it from BobCAD.

I think that was it. I ended up buying the basic V22 mill package and after I did the full install it worked as expected. Thanks for the tip.

I have the V 21 version and I have run into the same issue, although I think I am the cause of it. I havent pinned it down yet, But I think it has to do with the 3D button being needed or not needed when you auto cut the tool path.
