Could you explain?

Hi,

Maybe you could use "Exceptions".

Hi Robert,

Looks great!
TS'2009 will allow you to download Google Sketchup (SKP) 3D files.

Hi Fratini, Creating special shaping tools in TS should not be a problem. What is it you can't do? Same for Components. This is one of the strong points of TS. You can create what ever compo you want. Again, what is it you can't do? I have some knowledge on that matter, maybe I can help you? Regards

Hi Robert, If you are trying to create a tool for a moulding, you are completely wrong. There is a specific function for that, take a look in the online help.
