How to change Contour Parameters default

[PBpaul]

Running Mill9SP2

When doing toolpaths for ordinary 2D contours, on the Contour Parameters tab, everything comes up with Absolute already selected, which is what I want, except for Feed Plane, which comes up Incremental. I'd like for it to come up Absolute by default, also. Is there a switch for this somewhere?

Same thing happens with Lead in/out. It comes in selected by default and I want it unselected by default. Can things like that be changed?

Thanks for any info- PBpaul

If you really want ot be creative you can set up many config for different things like tall parts, Z0 on the bottom, Z0 on the top, highfeed rates starts for aluminum. When in the config set up also you have the ability to pick the default tool libary as well as the spefic tol to come up in every one of the operations for the control. Just soem things you can try.
