    V23 Feature Tool Path invisible in V25

    While waiting on a reply to my Ticket (the new system)

    Uprgaded to V25 yesterday and loaded a few V23 mould programs in which are used special tool features.

    While toolpaths are still generated, the toolpaths do not show on the model.

    I have yet to try merge file but are there any other thoughts.

    Thanks

    In addition, now that I am in front of the work.

    Merge did not work.

    So I created a new model with a pocket.

    Loaded and existing V23 Feature (6mm ball nose cutter). Merged document and still no cutter path shown.

    Added a new V25 feature (tree showing the 2 features) and Computed Tool path. No path shown on model. Merged document again and still no path.

    Deleted the V23 Feature from tree, re Computed Tool path for the V25 and its tool path appeared.

    I think rather than waste more time on this glitch I will just rewrite new features for V25.

    Still no word from Bob Technical on this issue.

    I have now simply reconfigured all my Tooling Features up to V25 standard.
