pocketing error while nesting

Post by Kim Dang »

Hi everybody
I was trying to nest a job but when it's pocketing, the CN freezes forever. I have to restart the computer a few times but the issue remains. Could you plz tell me why?
thanks

Hi Dang
I have not much idea about your machine, but sometimes on our machine, if I forget to check our tools or tool group for the loaded materials, it gets to the point where it needs the tool, (perhaps in your case the designated pocketing tool ) and just stops.
We have to either,
load that tool in, and restart the sheet,
Or change an existing tool to pocketing and remove the missing tool from that material tool-group and re-nest.
Hope that helps or make sense.
Mark
