I do mostly rotary work and V9.5 has been working great for me. Now I want to do a flat project and I'm seeing something I don't understand. I don't remember this behavior in prior versions, but maybe that is just me getting old and not the software. Here's what I'm seeing.
I set up a job with 1" thick material and z zero on top. I have view model plane and view material block checked on. Model plane shows on top of the material block? I create a vector and use create shape. The model appears in the 3D view above the material block. The whole model continues to show above the material block as I add components until I click over on something in the tool path menu. Then the model shifts down inside the material block (as I would have expected from the start). I've attached a screenshot showing the model above the material block. Has Aspire always done this? Bonus question. Why does base height in create shape go from negative half of the job height to positive half of the job height instead of zero to job height (or negative job height to zero)? Have I got some setting wrong somewhere for flat work. Life seems a lot simpler in the rotary world.....
