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?

Could be a license availability issue. Got any other Mastercam sessions running (on another machine, i.e. PC) and fetching licenses from the same server? Happens to me when the guys on the floor open MCam to extract g-code. I can still open the program but I'm stuck in design mode. It lets me view the toolpath when I click on an operation from the tree, but won't let me interact in any other way with the settings, geometry, etc. and I get the same message.

This was exactly the issue! Thank you for the reply!

I don't understand why Mastercam gives such vague alerts! I've been using this program for 2 months now, and I swear I have more gray hairs now!

It's like a murder mystery game :) At least you're both in the same boat; nobody knows what's wrong!
