    Cool Toolpath

    I have been tring to figure out how to hide the toolpath after they have been computed. They cover the part so you can not see some of the features that I still need to deal with.

    Under each profile should be Rough and Finish. Click on the toolpath you want to blank (it should highlight on the screen), right click then hit blank.

    That is what I thought for some reason I cant get the toolpath to highlight and never could. When I right click on Z level rough it shows a blank surface but I cant select it.

    Just right click on the rough or finish icon below the feature and choose the color you want to change or blank to blank the tool path.

    You have to do them one at a time, and un blank one at a time. But this is what you wanted right?

    You'll also notice from there you can change the individual "Colors" of the "Rough" Finish" and different "feature" toolpaths.

    For instance, Toby may choose "Pink" for his Rough pass! :O
