Toolpath preview
After calculating all toolpaths and preview, the screen does not show the resulting preview until I change the view like rolling the mouse wheel. Is this just my computer/graphics card or is anyone else experiencing this? It's not a big deal. Just want to be sure it's not me.

It occasionally happens to me too.

Re: Toolpath preview
It’s rare, but I have seen it. In fact, it happened just last night, just once, after I made a small change (moved a couple tabs on a Profile cutout). I recalculated for that, then did a recalc for All Toolpaths then ran a preview for all Toolpaths. Nada showed up in the 3D Preview. Exited the preview, ran it again and all was well.
This was in VCarve Pro and no Raster 3D carving in the file - all 2D cuts.

Re: Toolpath preview
Interesting point Michael. I've been doing almost all raster cuts lately and it happens every time so I loaded a text vcarve sign and everything was normal.
