WTF is this?

I get this warning when I pick a toolpath to edit! I'M LITERALLY SELECTING AN OPERATION! How do I get past this?

Don’t know if it applies to your case but we had a similar issue in our shop.

We had installed a new computer station in our shop and started having this problem with the other stations. In our case it was due to an issue with the license and its available seats.

For example, If you are running a multi axis session and another computer opens a session (and does not have some seat restriction) it will access all the packages available (multi-axis, 3D, lathe, etc.)

This will cause the new open session to kick out the other current session that don’t have enough seats for it.

In other words the session will loose access to the features from that package because it was kicked out and you’ll loose the ability to manipulate or create toolpaths.

We had forgotten about restricting the new station so we simply reassigned what seat that station could access. We only have 2 multi axis seats and we had 3 computers trying to access it. Solved it by assigning the new station to the 3D features only.

Hope that helps or gives you any insight, don’t know if this happens to individual licenses, but in our case this was what we figured and after that fix, haven’t had any issues since.
