Re: No part to place
I have had this same issue with a product I made. Some of the parts in it used a swept shape and even though they should be completely flat, I think there must be some kind of variance and they are not always flat, planer surfaces. When I make a nest, I don't get an error but the parts just don't sh...

Re: unhook anchor piont of a curve?
I find the easiest way to do this is using the replace function. Create a new point, name it (p1 or similar) so that you can easily replace it by just typing the name when you run the replace command. I would also recommend giving the point on the end of the line a name (p2). You can find that point...

Re: Simplify Hardware to avoid lagging
Here are a couple things you could try (see attached images). TopSolid has a pdf on performance adjustments that you could request (I tried to attach it but the file size is too large). I have to agree with Todd though. Most of my experience has taught me that it is better to redraw clean geometry i...

Re: 3D letters on curved surface
Use the “copy face” command to make a surface for each imprint. Then use the “thicken” command.
Hope this helps!

Re: Unable to import publishing
I think I see a couple things: 1. You need to have all the faces of the cabinet published. In the tree, you can see that the left and right plane are still connected to the publishings after the exchange (I know it seems like they have an issue because the shelf is extended but that is just because ...

Re: Unable to import publishing
Hi MadCat, I think that you are really close but the error you are having may be due to attaching one or more of your publishings to the driver block. I made a short video showing the publishings working: https://youtu.be/Syk16qMLaec I am not an expert with publishings but I believe that they are de...

Re: What's New 2022-23
Hi MadCat, I haven't had a change to explore the new assembly kit features so hopefully someone else can answer on that. For the previews, looking under: Assembly>Define component>Automatic previews generation. Once you run that, they should show up in your library. -Ken Screenshot 2023-06-12 090927...

Re: search parts to operate while updating
Not sure if this helps but maybe when inserting the part/tool, the option: "Search part(s) to operate while updating=" was not checked "YES" and you need to reinsert it into your assembly?

Re: delete previous measures
I think it would be a good improvement. I would love to see a section in the options that would easily allow users to configure the defaults for all commands. I find that when extruding, I have to change the options for hiding the genetrix=hidden to visible most of the time so being able to set that...

Default Engraving Parameters
Does anyone know what the configuration words are to set the default engraving depth and process? I would like to set these so that I don't have to enter them each time. Thanks!

Change the location of the CAM tool database
Hi All,
I am trying to change my Cam tool database from the default, local folder of: C:\Missler\Config2020\Database\Reduced
I would like to set it up to the group folder as shown in the help file. How do you change that?
Thanks!

Re: Smooth Lines of Curves in Draft
Thanks! I was able to get things looking better but for some reason, whenever I add any kind of exceptions to the view, it overrides my projection settings and I end up with a segmented look again. Not sure what is causing that... seems like a bug. Thanks for your help!

Smooth Lines of Curves in Draft
Is there a way to make curved draft lines show and plot as smooth arcs? The curve itself is fair and shows as such on some of the views but on others it is very segmented both in the draft and when plotting (see image).
