    Paths got into one layer

    Opened a older program today, and all my tool paths moved into one layer.

    The paths are ok, and have the right tools assignments, however there all under one tool layer.

    Makes it hard to see one path vs another, as the norm is to have one on each layer per tool.

    No idea how this happened, or how to fix, as edgecam generally makes a new layer per tool and this has never happened to me.

    Any ideas how to get the paths back too the proper layers?
    The layers themselves are still listed

    What version of Edgecam are you using? There is currently a service pack 2 for 12.5 which addresses a similar issue. It is available at http://customers.planit.com or if you contact your reseller.

    i have noticed this problem, what seems to happen to me was when you edit a tool it changed the layer that tool goes on to the same one so everytool i would edit would end up on the same layer.
    i caught it happening and noticed it would happen agian right away if i opened the box agian.

    major PITA, glad to hear it was a glitch and i can get a patch for it.
