No Probe Animation

[Craig Black]

I have a workstation running 2015, 2017 and 2018 and all three have no probe animation.
Box is checked in the Setup Options Animate probe during Program mode.
I went as far as checking the settings editor and probe animation is set to true.

TIA

Can you provide more detail? Does this happen online, offline or both. Is your probe hidden? While in program mode if you hold the right moue button down. Does the probe follow the mouse? If you wish I can try to help. My email is [email protected]

Sounds like graphics card issues. I'm sure rjurca is best source to help, but if your SMA isn't current, he might have his hands tied.
If you are SOL on the SMA, make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date, and your PC is using it (and not the internal graphics card).

Same problem here
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
I've already updated gpu driver and in program mode the probe follows my mouse but it won't animated when i run programs.

2016 , 2017 I have probe animation. Any program I create in 2018, I have no probe animation. Stranger still, A program created in 2018 saved down to 2016 has no probe animation.

I have been investigating this. I am seeing it work as expect. I will get with my tester who says he saw it fail. What type of features are being measured. Scans have there own set of animation settings. These do control probe animation but only for scans.

So we spent so time online and this is the result.

1. during execution we could see probe animation.
2. translate mode using the jogbox the probe animates.
3. program mode and right mouse button animation works
4. program mode using jogbox, no animation Is this the issue your having?

I am not sure I fully understand what we are chasing which is why I ask.
