Hi there,

1. I was looking in Simulation to hide the machine model by using Toggle Machine Housing button, but it doesn't respond, the icon stays deselected all the time. Is this just an temporary issue? 
2. Then I was looking to find out the Machining Time being calculated and shown somewhere, unfortunately cannot find it. It would be helpful if you'll add it in the future as well as the Setup Sheet and Measure inspection tool.
3. Is there a function to manage where nc program to be posted via Post Child Operations?
Thank you.

Sorin

    Sorin we will be adding Machining Time.  

    We do not have a setting for download location of nc files.

    For the simulation Housing visibility. What machine are you using? I believe some of machines do not have a housing definition. So there is nothing to toggle.

    Thanks Joe for your answers.

    My machine is just a simple 3 axis router made by AXYZ.

    As you suggested in your email to use a generic 3 axis machine for my router, thus I chose the first one, the Fanuc machine, but I still don't know which post processor of one of the generic machines will work with what we have here. I haven't tested the post yet as I'm still trying to figure out how the tool path defined functions work. I made some selections (edges, faces) but the simulation showed me strange trajectories. Everything looks nice and friendly until the Tool Path :)). I think a more concrete example in detail would have helped me, but I hope I can manage without it by dedicate a bit more time among other tasks I have. Thank you.
    All the best.
