Aspire Bug? Toolpath coloring

Post by swaggs21 »

I have been working with toolpath coloring now, and I notice that when I either "Setup Material" again and regen toolpaths or just regen toolpaths, some of my colors for toolpath coloring go away. This only happens when I have a V-Carve with a pocket tool for large clearance.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Chris,
You may have to run the previews again. I haven't noticed an issue and I use colors all the time.

By the way, welcome back.

Tim

Edit: My apologies, I just ran a couple of samples on the profile color did reset. The pocket color remained. Is this what you are seeing?

Thanks Tim.

This is after the previews are re-run. It seems to only happen if there is a large area clearance tool with a V-Bit toolpath.

:edit:

I was just watching it, and before I hit regen all toolpaths the color was there, but as the toolpaths were recalculated and the list refreshed, I could watch the color disappear on the V-Bit part of the toolpath in the toolpath list, it stays on the flat clearance tool.

You are correct. I reported it on the beta forum so Brian will take a look at it.

Good catch!

Thanks, at least I am not half as crazy as I thought I was since I thought I was seeing things.

Ok, maybe not half, but you get the point. :o
