This might find some use in the other applications, but is something I use when punching small parts on large blanks with AFab. The problem is that the Show Path graphics gets lost in all that geometry, making it hard to tell what's going on during Show Path. This also is great for lasers and waterjets because the kerf is so small that it's hard see, especially on large parts.
Here's the deal. Set Insert to a layer. Mask all steps - redraw (all tool path is now not shown). Show all steps - but don't redraw (turn off "Auto Redraw"). The toolpath isn't redrawn, (you have an empty graphic view) and Show Path will be much easier to follow. I also set Show Tool = Filled. Here's a macro snippet that does this: MASK[ST="*", SH=0] REDRAW[] MASK[ST="*", SH=1] SHOW_PATH[E1="1", E2="80", ST=0, DT=0, SP=6] - John Gent ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
