Toolpath name/planes in Toolpath Manager.

[goooose]

Is there a way to hide this info? eg I have a 2D dynamic path so that operation shows up as "22-2D High Speed (2D Dynamic Mill) - [WCS:Top] - [Tplane:Top] " and then finally my op comment. I don't really care to see the wcs/tplane info and the toolpath name is excessively long. Is there a way to hide any of this bloated info?

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to just show the toolpath name as the toolbar icon for the toolpath?

Right click in the Tool Manager area and click on Display Options

 

On a side note....

 

and while it might be "bloated" for you.....it isn't bloated for those of us doing 3, 4 & 5 axis work.....

 

That info is kind of important

Nice, there is an option. Thanks!

 

I realize why the plane info is there, done plenty of multi axis work. My 'bloated' comment was more directed at the toolpath name that shows. Why not just call it '2D Dynamic Mill' instead of '2D High Speed (2D Dynamic Mill)'...or better yet just the toolbar icon of the toolpath. Reasoning...working on a laptop or single monitor setup you lose real estate for the model by having to extended the tool manager horizontally to see your comment, which is at the end of the naming.

 

Again, thanks for the help.

Been on a laptop for years and have run dual 27" monitors with no issue.

One thing you can do, is to change the font of the Op manager so that it fits a longer name without having to scroll.

right click in OP manager, display options 

 

now you can select only what you need to see

I agree with you gooose. I turn that stuff off too. It's just clutter, in my eyes.

 

I also agree that the toolpath name is too long. Nothing is gained from it being so descriptive. It's just more fluff.

Interesting...where is that setting found?

click the little triangle (option) in the op manager ( upper right corner )

I have mine set to 10 point "system" in green on a black background.  Much easier on the eyes and easier to read than the default, and a little more compact.

I wish 2017 implemented some way to customize the old-fashioned Win32 tree component with a C-hook or something. There's so much empty space that could be used for information. I'd kill to be able to have a COOLANT icon next to an operation!
