    Default Turning simulation throws exception

    I build a profile using DCAD, set up the NC profiles, and go to the turning module.

    There, I setup the machine type, all tools, and turning operations, goto, etc.

    The Run shows the resulting cut.

    Then I would like to run a 3d simulation.

    I select Execute | 3d Machine tool Simulation, and then use ST_Lathe.ppr

    DCAM replies "The Simulator data has been created."

    I click OK to run the simulation, but instead, mwSimulator replies


    "Error decoding tool select command line.
    TURN/TOOL/SELECT/1, TURNING TOOL
    System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid...

    and a whole bunch of Microsoft VisualBasic exception information.

    How to get a simple simulation to run?

    This doesn't happen when running a milling simulation.

    Files were sent. Have you any idea why the 3d lathe simulation fails, while the mill simulation example works fine?
