    Useing 2 roughing tools on lathe V28

    I have a lathe part where I want to rough out with 2 different tools. So I do my first pass with a 80 deg diamond tool no problem, but then I do a second roughing pass and it won't allow me to select a different tool number for the 35 deg diamond I want to use. When I get to the tool screen the tool number is greyed out, and I can't change it to a different tool number. Anyone know who to rough with 2 different tools?

    also, every time I try to use the 35 degree tool (1/64 nose radius) the program crashes!
