hyperVIEW is a well thought out tool and I really like its interface and functionality. The fact that it does not have a real time simulation option is not too troublesome. It is a feature that I would use at times just to gage if the computed tool path is computed properly. A good example is the Helical Drilling routine. It does not take the technology parameters from the tool definition and I did not realize it till it started to cut at several times too fast

Thanks for the reply Doug. I am wondering if there is anybody else reading this forum at this time? There are lots of views to this thread. Anybody else out there using hyperview????
Cheers
