    torchmate cad deleting image to leave path

    Hi

    When I delete the original image I get a message that it will lost the relationship. if I say OK then the cut path cannot be show again I think it has been deleted too. I have followed the instuction by turning off "show cut path" so only the original image shows but what ever I do it wont work.

    Info please

    Not sure about your problem, but was wondering if you like the software, was thinking of purchasing a copy.. Is it as good as it looks. Thanks

    Hi

    Yes I did but I found the problem to be the group command was checked so when I deleted the original the whole thing was deleted as they were grouped.

    Thanks for asking

    In the Torchmate CAD Version 7, under the Options menu, select Torchmate Setup, and then select Tool Path Preferences. There is an option that says "Group Tool Paths with Originals" that is checked. If you un-check that, the toolpath and original will no longer get grouped together when you create the toolpath.
