...." What does the plus sign next to the mouse pointer tell me. Why do the cutter path lines (yellow) disappear when I hit the "esc" escape key? I know how to get them back but it is a pain in the a$$. What is the point to this new feature? If I want to use an Inventor right click menu (like measure) I actually have to hit the escape key to get it. But then I can't see paths. Please tell me why this is better than the way it was before rel 9? "
The reason for this is that in Inventor the toolpath graphics are not a mesh or a CAD element. They are a line ( like a bitmap ) which are generated through the API.
So unfortunately it is not possible to select the toolpath[s], therefore we hide it.
