  3. I'm attempting yet again to force myself to acclimate to the new interface. In 2021, how do you turn off that annoying "glow" highlighting that washes everything out and keeps you from seeing exactly what you're selecting? Thanks

  5. Some of the parts we make programs for cannot get that hot due to stress issues. They are strictly forbidden due to part failures of past parts where that happened. 50-60 year legacy on things makes some companies weary of even rethinking using tools like this. Can only image getting HST toolpaths used on this material. That has only taken 3 years to finally get a test going. On the machine broaching was a fun conversation with flight directors, heads of engineering and other groups. Made the test part and when they put it all together I get the strange looks and begin ask how did you do that? I was not sure what they meant and they asked about the finished height. I told them I could only hit it with a 1/4 turn of the thread. They went yeah you said that, but hit them with .001" of the nominal. Is that a problem? No, but how? I will take dumb luck any day of the week if that is a good enough answer for you.

  6. Where you have to understand shop rate and ROI processes to understand what are the gains with using tools like this. Shop rate of $60/hr probably not going to see an advantage using these tools. Shop rate of $475/hr going to see it real quick.
