Changing color in simulation

Color in simulation changed to a bright, non-viewable color. Is there a way to change the simulation color in the free version?

What material do you have chosen for “Simulation View”?

Could you upload a screen grab of what you are seeing?

The colour of toolpath lines is not configurable.

Maybe a feature request is incoming ?

Thanks, Will.

Can you please help me with one other item.

I changed text at the bottom of the file. It is not showing or cutting. I have 10 other practice cuts, same file, same font, I eliminated one word from the line and I am having difficulty. I saved the file, shut down, reopened, still won’t populate. I changed tooling to see if that would help, nothing is working.



Upload the .c2d file which you are having trouble with?

You don’t have those vectors selected. Or the 1 vector in the head??

How do I select the vectors?
I drug a box around the entire image and text, I couldn’t get it to work.

Thank you

Edit the toolpath to get the current selection:

shift-click to add each element:

Or, select the entire line:

Group it:

Then add it to the selection:

Then edit the toolpath again:

“Change Vectors”

“Use Current Selection”

OK

(wait for the toolpath to calculate)

THANK YOU!
I made the corrections and understand how to proceed.

838 minutes to cut this small project out seems WAY too long.

I don’t know what a TigerV20 bit is, but the Feeds and Speeds seem too slow.

I would use a .25" 60-degree V bit: plunge 30, feed rate 60.
This significantly reduces the cutting time. I also reduced the cut depth to .06, so you only have to make two passes with the .125 EM.

74 Minutes is a reasonable cut time for such a detailed project.
I run a SO5Pro, you may have to reduce your feeds if you have a different machine.

Thank you for your help. I have the same machine as you. I will make the adjustments and give it a try.
