Toolpath arrow

[Programinator]

When picking entities for a 2d toolpath is shows a little wireframe arrow indicating which direction your path is going to go. Sometimes its hard to see it. Is there any color change possible or a setting to change to make it more visible?

Nope.

Never had trouble detecting arrow,however advise not to use green and red colors in your geometry - which happens to be arrow colors I suppose..

What colors do you normally use for geometry?

[Thad]

I have no problems using green and red. It's light blue (#11) and yellow (#14) that I don't like using because of their use in backplot.

 

Personal preference...

There is the basic color pallet but the 256 Color pallet gives more colors/shades.

Do your own exercise , pick and practice the available colors. You'll develop a taste for few and they will become your favourites.

You can also customize shades and store them.

Customize tab is on top.

Colors that I dont use in Geometry:-

Red-Its a MC change color

Yellow-Its a selection color, Rapid color

Purple-Its a MC change color

White-Its higlight color

Black-Screen background

Every color is customizable though in your config.

thanks for the suggestions. I have played around with the colors and found some i like. I think the arrow itself needs to be redesigned. The wireframe does not work for me. Sometimes i have to hit the reverse toolpath a couple of times to see where it is. I would like it to be a more solid arrow that stands out more. The arrows that come up in the dynamic xform look nice. Why not use that style when picking geometry for toolpaths?
