Backplot toolpath colors

[Thad]

When I backplot, certain feed segments of the toolpath are red and the rest are light blue (system default). Is there any significance to the red lines? When verifying, red is usually a bad thing.

 

I realize that the color can be changed in the settings. This even happened to me at MC school using v9. The instructor didn't know why either.

Edited to say that I only see the red lines when stepping through the backplot. Running at normal speed shows all light blue lines.

Its could be that in your display setting(while you backplot) you light have arc as a red color its one of the new options in V9,check that out and us know.

It happens in v7.2, v8.1.1, and v9. I'll let you know about the first 2 versions tommorow. I'll let you know in about a week for v9! Can't wait for the upgrade.
