Not sure if this is a bug or not (it was annoying me though):
I create a 2D Profile Toolpath. Cutting inside or outside the vector (doesn't seem to matter).
I specify a cut depth of T + 2 (thickness material + 2mm)
At this point if I hit calculate, everything works great; Aspire saves the cut depth as T+2 and I can then modify the thickness for my material at cut time.
HOWEVER:
If I am editing the same toolpath, and click the "Edit Tabs" button, the cut depth gets 'calculated', and I longer have T+2, I instead get 8 (or 14, or whatever material I am working with +2).
I would think it should save the T+2 as the cut depth, not sure why it would have to calculate that permanently and lose the formula because I editted tabs (?).
Any thoughts, or am I missin something?
I can't upload this file - copyrighted material - but if others aren't able to repro it I'll try to create a separate simple file.

Re: Possible bug in 2D Profile Toolpath / cut depth and tabs
I remember reporting this during beta testing a few versions back. I can't remember if it was fixed or not at the time but I'm sure it would have been. Looks like it's snuck back in as it's definitely still doing it.
