    Simulation looks different from reality.

    Hi guys.

    I've just updated from 2011R2 to 2015R1. I'm using the same toolstore and post-processor as I was in 2011. My problem is that when I make a sequence, and in this case put in a profiling cycle my tool starts and end in a not so optimal place (see picture). When I make the nc code, it does actually send the machine to the correct location, and not through the stock as shown, but it would be nice if I could trust my simulation, instead of having to read through the nc code to make sure things are right.

    I'm sure it's just a setting somewhere, can anyone explain to me how to change this?

    I also have another problem.In the old version the machine would move to starting location in x and y to the starting point according to the cpl I set, and only then start moving the z-axis. But now in this new version it moves all 3 axes to the x0,0 y0,0 z100,0 in the cpl the solid model was imported with. So it seems that starting cpl (normally top in my case) is still somehow registered although I'm using another cpl in the machining sequence. Is this also a faulty setting somewhere?

    Pardon my english, I hope you understand my questions.

    Hello Lene Madsen i think this one probably will fix your first issue
