The arrow is acting a litte better now but it still does dance around to much, I would like it to stay put untill I want it to move.

Check the machine for level, if it isn’t level it will not cut a flat surface.

Ditto!

Has anyone tried to split a surface in X? It is virtually impossible to tell which UV direction that it is going to split. Any suggestions?

Ray, Thanks for the help.

I don’t really care where the arrow is when I open a file, I just want it to stay put until I move it and not jump around so much. And why does it have to move when I select the properties tab within the current machine group?

I'll second that!

Very Cool!!

One thing that drives me crazy is when you edit an operation then regenerate it the screen jumps to the insert arrow no matter where it is. Sometimes I lose my place / train of thought when I have a long program that I’m editing.

Thanks Dave, That took care of the problem, you can’t imagine how much you just helped me.

The toolpath insert arrow drives me nuts!! I spend more time chasing that d*** thing around than making toolpath. Anybody else?

Thanks Slava_6 maybe some else can help

Hi, In my set-up sheet, I output the tool name as a tool description for tool setup. In X I’m not getting all of the text output that I entered in the tool description. It looks like it stops at a period. Example; X tool Description: # F DRILL .257 DIA. 5/16-18 Tap Drill 2.25 Min Length Setup Sheet Output: # F DRILL .257 DIA Has anyone had this problem before?

I really like the pre-selection function.

Steel, Create, create curve on all edges, then select the icon that has a blue box with a green check mark in it, that activates the solid. Then select the solid. I had the same problem and it drove me nuts until I found that icon.
