    Stock visibility

    Hi all

    Just wondering, not sure what I have done, but suddenly my stock is not visible in the machine simulation? To be honest, never really checked if it was before, but either way, it has everything in there, but the stock. Even the buttons to enable are dimmed out/locked. I have defined it ok, as it shows it in solid verify, but only the machine sim seems not to show it anymore?

    can anyone help

    So you can’t toggle the Stock or Initial Stock buttons?

    The same thing has happened to me as well. One day it was fine, the next this. I haven't (obviously) been able to fix this so a solution would be great.

    That is strange but with Spencers post that one day it was fine the next its gone sounds like the licence may have time limits attached to it for the Machine Sim.
    My dongle has MS4, MS5X-3/4/5 and MS5X-MSim all listed which seems to suggest we pay maintenance for Machine Sim to run properly so that may be the issue. Get on to SC and ask them about it.

    After I made that post I tried it again; and at least for that one part it worked. So strange.

    It is strange, we're on a full maintenance licence, and we have only had a machine simulation setup just under 2 weeks ago, so can be expired.
