Hi all, a little bit of help required, when I go to view all toolpaths in Cut 2D, I select the toolpaths hit Review button but nothing shows up, in the 3d Tab, any help gratefully received

What's the Review button?
Which button are you pushing and how have you selected the toolpaths? Selecting and visibility are different things.

Re: vanishing toolpaths
Hi Adrian, I used wrong terminology, I highlighted all my toolpath, then went to PREVIEW ALL TOOLPATHS, but the toolpath checked boxes became unchecked and nothing showed up in the animated view in 3D view. I have gone back through the tutorial and checked all the settings..... I think

Re: vanishing toolpaths
Preview All Toolpaths will uncheck all the toolpaths one by one as it displays them so that's normal. If nothing is showing up the most likely cause is that the cut is too shallow to appear. If possible the best way to solve this would be for you to attach the actual Cut2D file here. If that's not possible (copyright, commercial reasons etc) then some screenshots of the toolpath settings etc would help.
One thing to try is to increase the preview resolution. You can adjust that on the Toolpaths>Preview Simulation Quality menu.

Re: vanishing toolpaths
Hi again Adrian, I have increased the resolution but to no avail, this is only happening on new files, my older ones seem to be ok,
I have attached the file for you,

Re: vanishing toolpaths
It's the actual Cut2D file (CRV) that is needed. The DXF previews fine for me but I don't know what material and toolpath settings you're using from that.
