Usability of select operations

[SlaveCam]

Quite often I find myself having to select operations by a tool number for whatever reason. I find the usability of this function to be incredibly poor.

• It does not expand toolpath groups where selected operations reside
• There is no way to isolate the selected operations. When you open a toolpath, the selection is lost and you have to redo.
• "Apply to selected operations" does not work

Because this is such a common process, can you suggest any tips to make this workflow better? And as much as I love programming, having to make your own NET hook for this purpose should not be required.

Hit apply to selected first then pic the tool number. Then it will only look thru what groups you selected.

If you pick the tool number first doesn't work for some reason

Slave, once you have all of those operations selected. Tap the letter "e" on your keyboard until you have them expanded the way you want.

This is not producing a desirable effect... maybe your e key shortcut does something different?

I couldn't get this function to work either.
