    Z profile / slot changes tool dimeter?

    why does it change my tool diameter on a second Z profile?
    i have only one tool described
    took me a minute to isolate the issue

    Hello,

    The tool size isn't changing.

    With the Tool view set to Envelope, this is showing the effective diameter at the given depth.

    Regards
    Andre

    Hello

    Yes, there is an issue with Mirror on Z profiles.

    You will need to use Rotate 180

    Regards
