Lars,

This is from "What's new in Wire 9.1" on my system (there's a shortcut to it from my Start menu)

----

STCW has been removed from the Secondary Menu

There is a new Thread/Cut button on the Secondary Menu, which replaces the STCW button. Version 9.1 eliminates the global STCW menu, which allowed the user to create only one point for Start, Thread and Cut point (STC). While this is useful for a single contour, it becomes impractical when selecting multiple contours, often resulting in a “spider-web” toolpath, with all passes eventually returning to the one and only STCW point(s).

 

(The next example shows....) how the new points may be used to represent thread and cut points on each contour and avoid the “spider web” effect.

Hope this helps,

 

Rich.
