I'm Baaaack!

Hi All,

Well... after a 5 year Hiatus, I am back in the manufacturing world! When I left, I was using X6 and coming back I am using 2018.  Took me about a half a day to figure out where everything has moved to and it's going well but I do have one thing I have not found yet...

Where is Tool vector Depth on the new Swarf Milling toolpath?  I programmed these parts, but wanted to wait on running them until I could go a little past the part edge to run them.  I spent some time reading old posts and now see that we have 2 Swarf toolpaths.  The Swarf Application has vector depth in the axis control page but Swarf Milling does not.  Are they calling it something else? Is it controlled by something else?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I realize I could go back and just re-do those toolpaths with the other swarf toolpath but thought I would ask to see if the new one has that same control built in?
