I have used Vcarve desktop for a while now, and thought I have a handle on using it. However now when I try to delete a toolpath, it asks me if I want to delete the toolpath, but the toolpath does not disappear from the toolpath listing. Is there a new process that I am missing in version 9.0? I am using an older Dell, but like I said, I didn't have problems before I updated.
Thank you

Re: Deleting toolpaths ?
The prompt to ask if you want to delete a toolpath was introduced prior to V9 so it's not a change to do that with that version specifically.
Is it with one particular file only or does it do it all the time? Try right clicking on the toolpath list and using the delete options that appear in the menu. Do they work?

Re: Deleting toolpaths ?
Thank you for the reply.
Right clicking works. I have no idea why the little delete toolpath icon doesn't. It asks me if I want to delete the toolpath, and I click yes, but it still shows in toolpaths. However, if I goto edit, it does show an undo delete. So somehow I figure I must be doing something wrong. But right click works, so that will be my goto until I figure it out.
Thanks

I don't see that behaviour with VCP pro. If you reset the preview and rerun the simulation ... is the toolpath still there?

Re: Deleting toolpaths ?
Is it a complex toolpath? The icon delete will create a backup in memory so you can undo it whereas the right click version doesn't.
I'm wondering if there isn't enough memory to create that backup so it's not deleting it from the list.
