    Contouring, "invalid casting feuture data"?

    Why do i get this message?

    Have imported a DWG with a simple profile.

    Do an autochain and then i want to contouremill around.

    When i have chosen the parameters i want to have i get the errormessage as posted in the title of this thread.

    I have made one contourmill program before so it seems strange that i won't work this time. I have probably pushed the wrong buttons, but can't seem to find the answer in the help menu or online.

    Thanks in advance!

    What type of operation are you doing? If its a solid turn roughing there is a simulation type tab in the operation it self. You have 4 options offset, diameter, casting, & automation. It sounds like you could have that set wrong. Also under the common machining page on your stock set-up there I believe there is a stock type also that you may have set to casting. Without more info I am not sure what is going on. I also am at home and only have Esprit 2009 here. I think on 2012 there is a few more options you could have set wrong.
