I think I understand, but what about the Forms folder. Isn't it one of the files with the tool information? I have attached a snagit picture of my registry. Is this what I change to the right location. Could you explain in a little more detail so I don't make any mistakes?

We would like one general location for our tool information and everyone reference this location. The reason we wo...

My computer was recently upgraded to 64-bit, with new installation on everything. I am running 32-bit TopSolid woodcam on a 64-bit windows xp.
I had to bring in all of our settings back into TopSolid.

I am trying to generate nc code that drills holes. The problem that I am having, is the code my post processor generates, does not retract on the Z plane before traveling to the next location. Our test run broke a 5mm w/rpm 5000.

here is the file

Attached you will find my file. It is just a test part so I can get my settings dialed in before we run the expensive parts.

When I generate nc code from my part nesting, the drill is not retracting before it goes to the next hole. I have already broke a bit because of this. I look at the code and there is no retraction on the z plane between holes. Can anyone help me fix this problem . I've tried to change the clearance ...
