    profiling on the line

    I try to do some simple profiling in madCAM beta5.
    In the 4.3 version there where the options Inside,on the line and outside the line.(2.5D)
    Beta 5 is very confusing and does not allow me to choose "on the line"
    Only climb or conventional are offered and that not clear to understand and see
    at all.The old version with box to choose your options where much more precise.
    Regards

    Dirk

    Personally, I find the graphical "helper" for profiling in madCAM 5 way more predictable than the box. Maybe I'm just more accustomed to using it since I've been working with the new betas for quite some time. You are correct that there is no "on curve" option. However, wouldn't the "Along curves" toolpath do the same thing?

    Along Curves would the same thing I believe too.
