i forgot to add I use a 5 axis curve for that move. Using that i know i wouldn't be hitting.

I add geometry like this to get the tool safely to the other side. using the line at the arc ends and one in the middle for my axis lines.

Roger I'm not sure how to do that in Tool path editor. What am i missing?

DUH! That's right MadPickinSkills, I forgot that i was in editor I was trying to do it like 'change at point' I'll try it that way. thanks for the head slap I needed that.

Thanks Roger, I tried that. I can't seem to get it to select a point. Here’s what I tried; >right clicked on toolpath >Selected ‘Toolpath editor’ >Selected ‘Edit point’ >try to select point on curve, nothing will select. Shut it down, then selected the point first > reopened Toolpath Editor > select “Edit Point” > Changed feed rate > OK > Regenerate tool path > Didn’t do anything So what am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone. It’s been a while but I’m back programming. Couldn’t stay away from it I guess. I’m doing some 5 axis work and wanted to change the feed rate around some corners (bends) the geometry is splines. When I went to the geometry to ‘change at point’ as we can do in 3 axis, it’s grayed out. Is there a way of adjusting the federate in 5 axis curve similar that with 3 axis?

I'll check all of those and let you know what i find, thanks again

I'll check the tool file. Thanks

Having a problem back plotting a transform in X9. My 2-inch face mill looks like an hour glass when I back plot a transform tool path. Regular back plot is fine no problem. Also, when I Verify, the transform 2-inch face mill is good once again. It is only back plotting the transform that I have a problem. The tool comes from Tool Manager. Any ideas?

Bump, Any thoughts anyone...

No, it's not that one. I use that all the time to look at associated geometry with op's I select. My problem is start up showing anything but what i closed in.

Not seeing it. Which icon bar?

I'm looking for it, it don't have the full complement of tool bars up, i got rid of a lot of them, look for what it might be in

Started a new job a few months ago and they are using X9 here at the new job. When I open a file X9 starts with some random toolpath geometry instead of the last image I saved. Have checked through configuration file and control definitions but can’t find anything that would change it. Any ideas?

Ahhh, OK got it. Guess i should have figured that one out since everything is windows related. Thanks for the help
