melfa-switchkins-postgui.hal:6: Pin 'vismach.plotclear' does not exist
I think the problem is related to the fact that your stl
files are more complex than ones used by prior vismach guis
and there is a timing race related to the parsing of
these files and the execution of the postgui halfile that
connects the vismach.plotclear pin.
A workaround (without modifying the axis gui) is to
move the execution of the postgui hal file to an
[APPLICATION]APP=file as shown in this diff:
$ diff tst.ini m*ini
2,3d1
< DELAY=2
< APP= halcmd source melfa-switchkins-postgui.hal
6d3
<
51c48
< #POSTGUI_HALFILE = melfa-switchkins-postgui.hal
---
> POSTGUI_HALFILE = melfa-switchkins-postgui.hal
The DELAY in the [APPLICATION] section increases
the wait time for executing the APP file. The delay time needed will
depend on the complexity/number of stl files and the speed
of the computer.

Note: your post in _this_ thread included only some of the
files in the config so reproducing the problem required
finding files from other posts. It is more helpful to post
a zip or tar file of the *entire* sim configuration so that
the problem can be reproduced without additional file
searches.
