I have been using V 10.022 since it was released. I was reviewing the What's New and the help ? options. I noticed that I do not have some of the options, like the use of multiple clearance tools. The update tells me I have the latest version. Could I have missed some part of the installation or put something somewhere the system can't find it?
Any suggestions?
TIA
Al Allison

Re: V 10 updates
Hi,
Be sure you have the “Show Advanced Toolpath Options” box checked (active). You should see all the options if that is done.

Michael,
Thank you for the reply. I do have that checked, and I have tried un-checking and re-checking and so on but the option to add more tools is not there.

Re: V 10 updates
What toolpath type are you trying to use? Gerry showed a screenshot of the VCarve/Engraving Toolpath - is that the one you are missing the clearance tools options? Do you have a vector(s) already selected prior to trying to create a toolpath?

Build 5975.6691.1077 for Apr 22,2020

It is pocket tool path for an existing job, created since the update. I was reading the What's New on the Vectric site and did not remember seeing it, so I opened the project and the option to put in additional tools and move them up or down is not there.

Re: V 10 updates
Multiple Clearance Tools are not currently available for Pocket Toolpaths. Do you see the options for a VCarve/Engraving Toolpath, though? (If so, FixitMike posted a “hack” awhile ago for fooling the software to do pockets with multiple clearance tools.)Al Allison wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 3:47 pmYes, the vectors were selected, the toolpath was created and it ll looks right. it just does not show me the new options.

OK, Michael, that was my problem! Thanks. I will check out FixitMike's method.
