Toolpath Display

[MikronGuy]

Using MCAM 2024.

Cant find this button to stop this when opening a part with tool-paths  (screenshot from MCAM 2023)

Maybe I am missing something or I am looking in the wrong spot.

its here, but there is a bug with it not retaining its setting, as in if you un -check it, it doesn't retain that setting and rechecks itself. Is logged.

I was wondering where that setting is. there is one workstation it must be off and guys will backplot 100 operations to find something rather than toggle the display selected and use the arrow key.

That used to be controlled by one of the F keys...Sometimes in past versions it would pop on when I first moved up, but once I hit the correct F key, it stayed off...can't seem to make it happen in 2023...maybe they changed it since then...can't remember which one now, I want to say F7...

Once you've enabled Toolpath Display in System Config, this switch toogles selected toolpaths off and on

 When they are selected, the folder icons in the toolpath manager with be a dark yellow, when not selected they will be a pale yellow

Actually, at least in 2020, this only toggles the toolpath(s) on.

So if the toolpaths are turned off, when you toggle this the selected ops turn on. If you toggle it again the selected ops do NOT turn off, you have to turn them off manually.
