In your tool database window, you have a pop-down menu just under the tool name.

That's where you'll find the Tapered Ball Nose entry. Gary's illustration is a copy of this menu.
Russ must know that as if you look at his posts you will see he has ball nose selected in the first one & Form tool selected in the second :lol: :lol:
For some reason he doesn't have a tapered ball nose in the list, not sure why as dealguy11 said it has been there at least since V4 :lol: :lol:

It’s in the drop-down list. Always has been. It’s simply a matter of selecting it and then filling in the form as with any other bit/category.

It just goes to show ya! You can teach an ol' dog new tricks! You folks were right all along, it is in my version(s). It doesn't look the same but all of the pertinent parameters are there. THANK YOU ALL, very much. Russ

Hi Russ,

Just to follow-up to allay "any additional confusion"...

The tool window appearance you have is EXACTLY the same as everyone else has. No difference at all.

I think you got "sidetracked" by Gary posting his PowerPoint slide with all the pretty colors. That is just a slide for presentation. It is NOT what the window in the software looks like.

Our tool window looks the same as your tool window.

On this side of the pond a submarine is referred to as a boat.

They are on this side of the pond as well but that would have spoiled my attempt at a bit of humour :lol: I spent 20 years in the RN in subs & Michael knows that :lol: :lol:
