No ramp dressup on pocket path [FIXED]

Post by freman »

Hi,

I have a simple pocket path but leadin and ramp dressups are greyed out.

Is that expected , if so why?

I don't see any obvious conflict. Why is this not possible ?

Thanks

It would be helpful to include the file, but I created a similar one and tested.

I tried all sorts of ramp angles and ramp methods and never saw any sort of failure.

I note that you are using a very new version of python. It is possible there has been some change that does not allow the Ramp to work correctly. Python developers are among the worst on the planet for making things obsolete.

OK, the ramp menu item shows up in full color and the default ramp works correctly. Looks just fine.

Hard to say what might be happening in your testing.

I realised that I had selected the Pocket and rather than the Pocket_Shape (ie path ) before trying to apply the ramp dressup.

What confused me was that all the other items in the Path Dressup menu were active and only leadin and ramp were greyed out. This made it look like I was in a valid context and only these dressups were not available for some reason.

In fact all the others fail when you try to apply them but are not greyed out. Had they all been greyed out, I would probably have realised my error straight away.

The interface should be consistent.
