Insert / hardware definition / machine 2022.2 issues

Greetings all,
I am currently having issues inserting a machine cad model via insert/hardware definition/machine to my programs using 2022.2 latest updated version. The option is greyed out. I can put a fixture in my program through the same path with quick fixture. If I regress back to PCDMIS 2020 version, insert/hardware definition/machine still works, and in the 2021 version it does not. I was able to insert both our machines, an old B&W Mistral 7-7-5 and new Hexagon SF 7-10-7, in the PCDMIS 2020 version programs. I took the PCDMIS 2020 machine.dat file and copied it into the 2022.2 path location hoping the previous version .dat file would work with 2022.2. However, that did not fix the issue as it is still greyed out. So, I replaced 2022.2 again with the original machine.dat file. I did try to insert a machine in already established programs before and after initial probe settings commands, as mentioned in one thread. Also, to no avail. Any help on this would be appreciated, as I've delved into this topic within the PCDMIS forum and tried all available options I've found.

  • Opening and saving with previous version, then opening the 2020 with 2022 does not work as well. Settings have not been messed with for many versions of PCDMIS for at least 10 years. I do not think it is a settings issue. The option to choose a machine is greyed out. You cannot even click on it, even though the Machine.dat file is where it is supposed to be.
