DMIS is randomly dis-allowing me to edit anything

We've been having a random bug when trying to program or edit programs with DMIS. Yesterday one of my guys came in to follow up and finish a program another team member was working on. He said when he hit F9, it never popped up the edit box. Tried restarting the machine, a different program, etc and it is still the same this morning. It appears as if the selected probe and tip angle are missing and won't allow any edits. It did this previously and IT updated from 2018R2 to 2021R2. The problem appeared to go away for a couple weeks until last night. You can attempt to select a different alignment, etc and still nothing changes. Can't open up the probe utilities either. After this occurs you can't close out the program either.

  • From the home page, go to EDIT>SET SEARCH PATHS and check that your probe directory is correctly defined. Also, if you have multiple users all logging in with different user accounts, don't forget that each user will need to configure their PC-DMIS settings.



    Thanks Neil. We are using an admin log-in for DMIS. Here is what I'm seeing in the search path in the attachment and when exploring the folder I do see my probe file in the location. I can force shut down PCDMIS and reopen. Once I do this it appears back to normal then immediately the issue pops up again once I try to F9 a feature.

  • Open your routine and press CTRL+ALT+P (this will open the probe utilities window). Do you see the graphic for your probe and are all of the components listed in the "probe description" area?
