Color remains the same between operations,actually remains the first color operation throughout. Yes definately taking a chip on the floor and wall for second op, also the change color box is checked in verify options. Wee bit frustrated any help would very useful. TIA,. FAS

Yes absolutely taking a chip t1=spot drill .120 dia t2+.500 dia. drill

TOOL#1 C-DRILL COLOR25 TOOL#2 1/2"DRILL COLOR40 VERIFY ON SOLID BLOCK AND THERE IS NO CHANGE IN COLOR CHANGE FROM T1 AND T2 T2'S COLORS IS THE SAME AS T1'S AFTER VERIFY. BOTH TOOLS ARE SAVED IN THERE OWN LIBRARY. IS IT SOMETHING IN VERIFY OPTIONS I'M MISSING? BIT FRUSTRATING, ANYTHING WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL THANKS, FAS

Yep, they are backwards. Is that also a quick change in the post? Thanks, FAS

Need to switch from X+ to X- on the lathe. Can this be done through the Machine or Control definition, or is it a post deal? Looked and searched but am missing it. Thanks, FAS

X5, with a basic conical cavity. Using the Opti-rough path with a step down of .04 the tool will only go approx. half of full depth. Increasing the step down to .100 and it goes full depth but this is way too heavy of a cut. Have adjusted all helix values pertaining to this particular path with no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dino

That works until I open a file, then back to black? Opening different files it just defaults to the system color.

Is it possible to change the main origin indicator to something other than black. Running the black background makes it disappear. Just want it multi-colored like the viewport, tool, and construction ones.

The backplot advance bar is visible but shaded out, is this due to lack of RAM? Working for simple 2D but not for surfaces. Have tried increasing allocation but to no avail. Only have about 400meg. Simple upgrade? Thanks, FAS

I've noticed that size of merge file has somtimes had something to do with it. Merging large into small sometimes triggers it. Another work around is to create a dummy solid enveloping your original then merging the dummy in. M2C, FAS

Late entry....F4 (Properties) manipulate away. FAS

If permissible leave .0002 on drive surfaces and it should recognize and cut the vertical surface. Hardmill turned me on to that one. FAS

Don't use a plug and see if you get the same results. Chuck on a plug and trepan a face groove on the front of the jaws, use a ring in the face groove to then chuck on and bore the diameter thru. Just a thought.

That is correct, it isn't a market they (we) go after. Simple reason: It's too small.
