I have two scollap toolpaths cutting the same job in the same erea.I have changed only a few things in the two prog's,like filter one way and bias angle.What i would like to do now is back plot them together so they lay on top of each other but in different colours.I have the colour display set so my arcs are different colours than my linear moves but can i get a different colur for each programe????? Thx in advance

My 2 cents I use 2d contour chamfer with a ball nose cutter,for larger holes.I think it works great.

Thax Rekd, Great thread

what im trying to do is have more options in the tool parameter page under the coolant pull down.Currently there is off M9 flood M8 mist M7 tool M58 I would like to add Ext Air M50 Threw spindle Air M51 M9 turns all these functions off but i currently edited my program to get the options i want for that perticular toolpath

quote: Heh, there's a c-hook that does that. Was floating around earlier this year, I'll see if I can find it. 'Rekd Hey Rekd just thought i'd ask if you found it thx

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You cannot "add" additional Coolant options -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unless your name is 'Rekd. Then you could do just about anything to it. i searched first guys ok But i was wondering if there is a way to get more options under the coolant box.I would like to put more options in there,insteed of editing my nc prog all the time.I would like to have 6 options in total thx in advance

Thx Rekd.How did you go with the fires? Hope all your family are well and safe.

How many times have you accidently hit the regen button in the ops manager when hitting backplot? Just a thought would it be a good idea to the move the button say half way down the page so I dont regen a big toolpath?

Thanks guys
