Has anyone seen this issue...I'm baffled.

My Machsims had been working perfectly...until recently...

Suddenly, when I load & run a simulation all my machine housing components move and my work & fixture are stationary. This is new and not related to any change I've made.  Happens on anything, including the ones I have made an defined.

JP have you tried editing the machine and re-saving the XML?

If these are Postability Machine Sim's you need to reach out to them and get the latest Machine Sim Add-on
This is the one I'm running, though I suspect they have a newer version by now

No, my own builds

As far as editing the XML, I haven't as I didn't change anything...so I'm not sure what would even need to be edited...I did bring older versions forward to see if something was out of whack with the latest and they behaved the same way

Was there a Windows Update this weekend?

I was just thinking open up the machine a re-save the XML and see if it makes a difference.

You should send them an email, that's the official way to open a support ticket.
Posting on the forum should really only be a last resort.

If you can provide an example file to me I can get it escalated, but I need information.

Thanks Pete. I might, workloading depending, put something together and get it into QC directly. Everything I do ITAR so I'm limited in what I can send out and where.

I don't work through my reseller too often, sometimes as a conduit, I generally know who to go to there with specific questions but typically, if I'm having a problem, it's something that's going to end up in QC any way.

Does ITAR really extend to your Machine Definitions?

No, of course not but any sample containing parts, would
