Yes that is what I want Thad. There are so many times when I need to see something and its all covered by a previous toolpath. I know this was mentioned before but I wasn't sure if there were enough gripes to bring it to CNC's attention.

Hi all, Question for beta testers. Will we be getting are F3 (refresh) back during backplot. I don't have many gripes but this one drives me crazy!!!

Thanks Roger And you to Kathy for bringing this up. Great addition!!!

Thanks for the help Paul!

Thanks Dave Thought it was just me. I'm sure its easily fixable with all of these post gurus here. Where are they?????

Dave All three different posts from single updated system

Just a heads up on the update!!!! Not sure what the problem is yet but.....everything was fine 1/2 hr ago before I did the update. Just posted the same toolpath using three different posts and 1 out of the three were fine....Do I need to update my posts again????

Ron that was it I needed to do it by order. I guess it helps if I look around more. Thanks for the quick response

Hi all, Not really an X question as this happened in V9 also. I am milling a through slot with a c'bore. Why is it that when I transform this toolpath(s) in an "x" and "y" array that it will do all the thru slots first and then come back and do the c'bores? Not sure if its just the mcam way or i am missing something. Any ideas??? Mike

Tommy can you pass it along if you get it? Thanks Mike

Got it thanks guys!! Just rebooted and all is well. I guess I have to stay now. I was hoping to get down to hunting camp early. Mike

I followed Lou's quote quote: right click ribbon bar click customize in toolbars or right click menu... scroll down in drop down "catagory" menu... ....to X+ I don't see X+ anywhere in here. Its Friday! This must be a sign to go home early.

Hi all Why can't I find this toolbar?....it must be to early...I see everything in the chook but don't understand about the toolbar.

Slepy Thanks alot. I'll have to play around with this. Always wanted to know what I was missing out on.

Howdy all! A little off of the subject here. I have never used "stl's" . Can somebody here let me know there purpose? Thanks Mike

this is a test this is only a test

Thanks again Thad I'll have to give it a try.....

Thanks Thad I was always curious about that one. While were on the subject, how about posting a screen shot? I can save them in my irfanview program but just don't now how to put them up here.

lol...someone tell me how to put up a link to another thread....lol

Jason have you searched this topic?? [*]http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=017170#000000

Jason have you searched this topic??

John, I looked there over and over and it always said top. But I just noticed there were values over in the lower right hand box of the view manager. I just zero'd them out and all is well. Many Thanks

Hi all I can't seem to get the tool plane off in the file I am working on. No matter what I try when I press F9 i get both coordinate axis. And I can't seem to orientate my geometry to where I want it. When I try and xform-trans-all entities from an interection to "origin". My geometry will not move. I have done this plenty of times already in X. I'm not sure what I hit but this is driving me crazy. It all comes down to my views. There is an * before each "TOP" name. I'm thinking if I can get rid of the * all will be fine????

Hey Rob I would love any of that info you sent millingman. I just started doing some thread milling and would appreciate some tips. Thanks Mike
