Why doesn't X7 show the coolant on/off in the tool path with out opening it up?

[Guest]

I will leave it for someone from CNC to answer

Because it was silly...

I agree. I never paid much attention to it. All though it would be nice to use a font color and customize. Maybe customize by coolant on/off, of plus stock condition. Something more visible for those of use who really can't stand when their operations manager is not collapsed.

 

Just my two cents.

Why not place it as an option under 'display options'? That way those of us that do use it can set it to be available and visable.

Maybe after Verify gets straightened out, then we could move on to something like that...

It never did work for X coolant style

This was a very useful feature especially if your machining graphite when using a hoover on the machine.

I never liked it because of the fact it didn't work for X style. But I do think maybe it would be a great idea to put it back in under display options

It was an excellent idea that never panned out.

After fighting with it for 3 (or 4??) releases and taking endless grief

over its failure to work properly, they pulled the plug.
