Question:
I have tube profile with attached part and when I try to export the NC file it is not created. Why?

Answer:
If you check dstv_nc.log, it contains the following error message:

ERROR: Tube profile with attached parts detected. Part 123456 will not be exported.

There has been problems with NC file export when attached part has been used with tube profiles or with polybeam profiles. At the moment exporting the NC file is prevented for those kind of parts. Other parts with attached parts are still exported OK to NC DSTV file.
