STYLUS SYSTEM CREATOR ISSUE

[[Al...]]

Running 6.4.20, offline, on Win10; SSC v1.7.5784:
Used SSC for the first time in a while; I opened an existing stylus system to modify for a new .ssc file. I removed the existing stylus and replaced it with a 25mm extension and a 125mm long stylus. the 2 pcs don't line up as seen in the attached pic.
Never saw this before...any ideas? Thanks.

SSC can be an odd beast at times. I've found modifying Stylus System can be more time and trouble then just creating a whole new one. I think it was Peregrin Took that said, "Short cuts make long delays,,,"

Agree with Richard. Also, having "Strict Assembling" turned on might help.

"Strict Assembling" was on (default setting) and I created the same stylus system from new and had the same results.
OK, odd beast it is! Thanks guys.

I have the same version and SP loaded on my laptop currently. I will test today between projects.

Rich, try loading the 8x125 Ruby stylus and let me know what happens please? When I tried it the 8mm ball was at the end of the 25mm extension. When I loaded the 8x125 Silicone stylus, the stylus attached (almost) to the end of the 25mm extension.
Maybe a database error? Thanks.

Alan,, just did some preliminary testing and got similar results to yours. It's ugly. If you need a Stylus System with 8mm ball, 150 mm long, the combination I found that works is 8 X 100mm, with a 50 mm extension. As for root cause, I could guess that it's Stylus System Creator detecting some moral deficiency in our character or possibly, impurity of intent. Or the database,,, it's a coin flip.

I'll go with moral deficiency, what the hell...it's Friday! 🤣 Thanks again.

No worries. I live to serve.
