In the shopbot newsletter this section was written:
" - Toolpath preview for Rotary Indexer (to enable, set to display 5 axes in [VD] then click Indexer Preview box in Preview Mode)"

I did all that, so thats not the issue.

Does this mean that it only loads the toolpath and shows you a graphical representation (a still shot) of the toolpaths with direction lines as opposed to showing a running animation of the toolpath being cut? Because i loaded a spiral toolpath and i get error message: "Simulation cannot be performed when rotary toolpaths are loaded".
My assumption is that it does not show us a moving preview like it would for a flat file, is that correct?

Jack,

That's correct. No animation for indexer previews.
