Had to go back to X2 MR1 SP1.

Yeah!! Eureka and Shazam!! That's what I want. Yup the simulation was messin with my melon. Thank you all for your suggestions and input. Ain't Mastercam the bees' Knees!!

I made my own custom 3D toolpath that is already offest by 1/2 the cutter dia. Now I want to select the custom 3D toopath geometry and still output cutter comp. Wear will offest the geometry again. I want to drive the tool center on the geometry and still output G41. Change at point will not allow this for 3D toolpaths.

Wear offsets the toolpath by 1/2 the cutter dia. I want to drive the center of the cutter on the geometry and still output G41.

I see that you can use change at point but it doesn't work for a 3d toolpath. I recon this is more of a request than a question.

That doesn't drive the center of the cutter on the geometry. I want a toolpath just like compensation type: off but with a G41 in the code.

I would like to output cutter comp on a 2d or 3d toolpath driving tool center on the geometry. An option like "compensation type: off w/comp" I sometimes want to drive the cutter center and still output a G41/G42.

That works great! Thank you. Sorry for being on the developers Forum. Another noobie booboo.

Quick View Actually I should have said "right click on an .mc8 or .mc9 file." Quick View would show a bitmap pic of the file without having to open MC. Is it available in X²? You used to have to enable it in CNCreg.exe and register ActiveX/DLL components like mc8view2.dll I don't see a CNCreg.exe in X².

What ever happened to quick view? Right click on an .mcx file in windows and a quick view option appeared that would show a bitmap of what the file looks like.

In ver 9 you would rotate your view to get a view number then set your WCS to that number. What happened to the view numbers? Ver X2 mr1 sp1 forcing me to use left side but it's not left side. I want to rot. view from top x-90 y-90. and set WCS to that view.
