Hi,
Im running Masterwork 0.34.11 and My dwarf won't cut down any of the designated trees,
There's a wooden training axe and some chopping axes availible but he still won't cut down any tress.
Any Idea how this happened and how to fix it?

Not familiar with masterwork, but checklist time!
Labour enabled?
Axes not in use by military or assigned to anyone in particular?
Axes available in a stockpile or so (so not still a work in progress in the workshop/forge)?
Dwarf has both arms?

Is the trees pathable to?
Do you have more soldiers with axe assigned than there are axes?
Is the dwarf part of military? ( Military uniform and woodcutter, mining and hunter labors are buggy )
Are labor set and have you waited for dwarf to notice? ( Can take around a week fortress time )

If above are confirmed, then turn the labor off and wait a bit and turn it back on, sometimes dwarves loses their axes or have task issues.

have you checked if masterwork "requires" metal axes to chop trees?


Although i once had the problem that i embarked with a military and an axe and 2 swords and found that my swords dwarf decided to pick up my axe, making that axe usable again was a bit annoying.


also on kumis's checklist which should be there:
Are they designated for dump? (D at end)
Are they forbidden (surrounded in {brackets})

Thanks,
I've gone through the checklist and nothing seems wrong
so I'll try disabling and reenabling it
thanks for your help

are you using masterwork without any additional changes (i.e raw edits for fun such as mass dragons)?
If so, you could upload the file and i could tell you for certain what was wrong. Suggest this upload area: http://dffd.wimbli.com/submit.php
The file needed would be here: Dwarf Fortress (wherever you dumped it, mines on desktop ) -> save -> region (select the one which you want me to look at) upload the entire folder.

Also, which tileset, as changing tileset can have some interesting effects.

also, are you using most recent masterwork?

[Cloughmonster]

I havent made any additional changes
I'm using the 'Phoebus' graphics pack
and I think I'm using the newest masterwork...1.7?
It also seems I'm unable to upload to DFFD at the moment
Thanks

the only other thing i can think of, is that they've been given to military slots and count as "weapons" not an "axe for chopping wood" and need to be removed from the military to be able to get reassigned.

i.e lets say you have 10 slots in your military, you assigned 4 of them, then realised you needed 2 of them to do something else so unassign them, it's possible the axe is still assigned to a military spot which previously had a dwarf in it.
Remove all equipment from the empty slots usually fixes this.

If you haven't been doing much with military, i doubt it will be this.
