.tap file problem
I made a simple small table base for my sisters small artificial tree today and when I tried to create the .tap file for all three 1/4"EM cuts, the program would only save the highlighted cut to the file. Normally it would save all the cuts made by the same tool if they all had a check mark next to them. Has anyone else had the same problem? I upgraded to version 10.018 today. I didn't have this problem the last time I created a .tap file before the upgrade.

Re: .tap file problem
At the top of the Save Dialog, you must check the box "Output all visible toolpaths to one file".

I’m not at my computer at the moment but I did check the box just about the file names. The one when clicked, fills in the individual check boxes for each file. Is that the check box you’re referring to?

Re: .tap file problem
No, that is the one above the toolpaths themselves which makes them all visible. The one gkas is referring to is the one one the Toolpath Save dialog as per the attached picture.rsetina wrote:I’m not at my computer at the moment but I did check the box just about the file names.

Re: .tap file problem
Okay. I’ll check the screen more closely. I don’t recall having to check that box before. Just the one above the tool path names and if there were different tools being used for the various tool paths, I would get a notification that they couldn’t be grouped together.
Thanks for your help gentleman. I appreciate it.

Re: .tap file problem
It's something you generally set once and forget about it but, depending on how the upgrade was done, it can get switched off during an upgrade.

Re: .tap file problem
That’s probably what happened. Previous upgrades didn’t switch it off so I was confused by why they didn’t group. I learned something here.
