preview icons for mpc and ptn files in windows folders would be great or as an alternative a better library system for mpc and ptn files built right into designer.

Mt and i have been testing some of the new tools from LHR and I will tell you they are very cool indeed I can't see how Aspire could even hold a candle to Designer at this point, " I feel sorry for the CNC guys that use it at 2k per copy" :) I think the idea with the new tools is to become more 3D friendly and it's working. Here is a screen grab of a Flute project and a raised panal door normaly made in 3D and inported into Designer now made with the new sweep tool sets....
PS hopfuly we not in big dodo for showing a few of them off to you guys so soon...

Thanks, I am carving it now hopefully i can offer it at the CW show next month... the new tool sets are interactive one could make a hobbit curve on the flute rail to shape it still maintain the cross sections!

I need a fast forward button! Popped a breaker 15 hours into an 18 hour carve. It is recarving now. But 15 hours of "air-carving"! I wish there was a faster way.
I think if you had placed a zero depth rectangle box on top of the area you did not want to carve. The carving would have started close to where you left off.
If this true I will stop it, it still has hours to air-carve!
I use the "HIDE" method when I'm testing parts of a 4 hr carve. As a matter of fact
I'm doing this right now. I carve the first part and hide the parts I don't want to carve.
If the first part works for me, then I hide the first and unhide the second part and so on.
I don't remove the foam out of the machine, I just add the next section to the carving.
I repeat the hide and unhide until I'm finish, that way I can have completed carving.
I have test carved just 1 bit with the rest of the project hidden.
It may take a bit longer redoing the fash card, but you don'thave to recarve everthing
and do a lot of air carving.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
