I think you're misunderstanding the purpose of Z1 and Z2. The toolpath will retract to the Z1 value between passes always. The move from Z1 to Z2 is performed at rapid speeds rather than the plunge speed of the tool if you have RAPID_PLUNGE_TO_STARTZ="YES" set in the post processor you're using. Ba...

my rapid z gap (z2 - .100) is defaulting to the (z1 - 1.00) value between pocketing passes... any clue as to why this is happening?

Is there a way to recover erased vectors from a toolpath... or convert a toolpath into vectors?

is there a way to delete multiple duplicate vectors on the same layer?

What do you need to know that isn't covered on the gadget display itself? I'd like to know what makes using this gadget different from using the profile tool with the spindle off? I could just try using it and figure it out thru trial and error, but thought there may be some way to reference the ga...

Is there a tutorial or reference page on how the drag knife gadget works?

is pocket offset allowance per side or overall...? and, is a negative value a larger pocket...?

Ah yes, much easier…. i'm used to originating from actual points on vectors: ala Gibbscam… it's nice to be able to drop or select points on vectors for various reasons.... this, and being able to 3d surface along actual swept surfaces would make Aspire invincible...

okay... smart snap and grid snap must be on, and must be creating vector shape or line... then a centerpoint can be found in absolute from origin… I needed this in order so set new origin at that center point - because I am picking a cut up part on feature not edges of part.... thanks Screenshot (11...

How can I find the location of a circle's center point in 2d? thanks

Okay thanks - I was looking for a step quantity selector box... like in the profile toolpath box... my eyes did not pick up the pass depth parameter selector in the tool database selector... will retry my toolpathing. - thanks again!

is there a way to select a number of 3d roughing passes...? am I not seeing a way to select this?

Just curious as why not just take the bitmap and convert it to a dxf, then scale it.... why the need to trace anything?

Does not quite do what I want... I need to magnify and be able to toggle between views (at the exact same scale) to check any variances... any ideas?

Can someone please tell me how to lock the 2d/3d views to scale so that I can compare after rendering toolpath. Thanks
