Current Coordinate

In 5.1 and prior you could use "current coordinate". All versions since then you have to specify a coordinate for every toolpath. I normally only have one setup (one coordinate) and hundreds of toolpaths so this makes all newer versions unusable. I reported this when 5.2 was released. Will this ever get fixed? Does someone have a work around?

Re: Current Coordinate

If you are simulating G-Code, I would recommend the following:

in VERICUT 5.4:
Setup > G-Code > Settings; Tables tab
Add/Modify
Table Name = Program Zero
Select From/To Location
From= Component, Name = Tool
To = Component, Name = Stock
---Select the arrow next to the Offset field
---Pick where the zero is on your stock

This will be the toolpath zero for every toolpaths

Re: Current Coordinate

To avoid choosing the Csys for each toolpath, you can do this :
Setup > Toolpath, select all the toolpaths in the list, right click > Origin, select the Csys previously created and defining the toolpaths origin.

That seems to work. Thanks. Next problem is when I add multiple toolpaths it does not put them in order. In V5.1 it does.

The order correspond to the order you select the files in the FSB. If you want to reorder some files after, you can just select the "square icone" at the left side of the toolpath line and drag it to the desired position.
