So the other day I am trying to change how far my tool is sticking out of my holder. I usually just changed the overall length of tool to control this but I noticed it was not having an effect. Then I tried making the overall length of the tool much larger and noticed it sticking out the back of my default 2" dia. holder during verify. So finally I look under my holder settings and see the initial overall length of the tool is still the value of the "tool projection". I kind of like this new way now that I figured it out but I am curious as to why they did this? The only thing I can think might be annoying is how surfacing paths don't have a holder section in the paramaters(unless i missed it). you would have to go to another toolpath just to edit your tool projection for your surfacing path.
