Re: 2nd engraving attempt What bit and setting would you used

From the photo of your Engraving tool I’d suggest that’s a 30 degree included angle

This is specified in the Tool database with a Side Angle (A) = 15 degrees

Re: This is odd: "...tools produced empty toolpaths."

Not sure if this is applicable in CS5.

Re: Roughing Question

Hi Michael,

There's an option to stop the 3D view from automatically opening

Edit > Options > Auto Open 3D View = No

Also a keyboard shortcut,
Holding Ctrl when clicking Calculate = Keeps the Toolpath Form + 2D view open

Re: Setting Zero

Hi Ron,

Try using - Use Origin Offset - on the Material Setup form

Entering negative X & Y values will move the light grey cross-hair in the 2D view (represents X0 Y0 position)

Hope this might work
