backplot

[Candyman]

hey all is there a way you can backpot a toolpath(cyan lines) while hiding the rapid moves(yellow lines) when i backplot a one way toolpath all those pretty yellow lines get in my way... all i want to see are the blue ones... see ya!!

Hi

No toggle type way.

Plan B

Save backplot as geometry then put

all color 14 on its own off level .

This is the Hardway.

Hi Paul,

In Screen, Configure, Screen, System Colors.

Change the color for option Toolpath Color.

Wallace, are you talking about setting the color of the rapid lines the same as the graphics background color (making the rapid lines invisable)? Good thinkin'!

Darn i was beat to the point.

i was going to tell you mike to change the color 14 to color1.

Hi paul

I though that it will still be there and go over the blue and make it look like the blue disapears. So I tried to do this and I couldnt find where to change the rapid color only the tool path color.But was able to change the back ground to 14 ,"it looks odd" but it worked.This was fun.

try this and see if it helps.

under "backplot"Display"Tool Appearence"

Turn on "color Loop" see if you can get more detail from that.

Got it!

First make sure there is no other needed display set to color 14. Set your color pallet to 14. While still in the pallet click "customize..." and slide all 3 controls to the left effectively turning yellow to black.

Just tried it. Works great.
