What I've seen was an at an intersection between two holes. When selecting the curve only a small portion was selected. I think it only messes up on NURBS curves, lines and arcs seem OK.

yes, you can email me (dbaldwin at gwi dot net).
I have done posts, but it's been awhile. What version of Genesis are you running?
My Dad is still around and well. He'll be glad to hear that Genesis is still being used.
I'd be using it more myself if it were practical for the work we're doing now.
Yes, you do have great control but once you get out of 2-1/2D theres not much you can do. I find that Mastercam can give you very good control though it's not always easy to figure out how to get exactly what you want.
Hi Scott
I'm still an occasional user of genesis. I used nothing else until we got Mastercam X, so I've got 25 years of genesis programs. My Dad started Encode back in about '73 and I worked there back in my teens before he sold it.
It's nice to know there a few people out there still using it.
One trick I've found useful for holes is to set it to (hole diameter-tool diameter)*Pi. This will give you a full spring pass with no extra leadin/leadout.
Use the control definition manager, Operation defaults, Properties, tool settings tab.
You should be able to set the coolant defaults here also, but that hasn't worked for me since the MR1/SP1 update.
