Tapping question with mastercam

[rgollar]

Hello,

Now im not complaining just asking a question here. I just recently bought a copy of Mastercam X4 and was wondering why when you pick a tap from the tool list. That you still have to pick the tap option from the drilling parameters. Shouldnt this just default to tapping once you pick a tap? Or does it do this and Im just not doing it right? Again I think X4 is a great improvement over version 9 im used to. The dynamic milling was worth the money in its self. Im saving tons of money in endmills with this toolpath and time.

If you set use tools step, peck and coolant in

the tool settings it will do exactly what you want

Thank you very much. I thought this was to simple for mastercam not to do.
