Guys,
Using V22, I find it difficult to draw a slot on a radius, with cutter radius at the ends.

I can draw it, but the software won't let me trim anything. I keep getting "Failed In: Break Mode" or trim mode. I've tried Break One, Break Many and the others.

For instance, if the centerline of the slot was on a 1.5" radius (90 degree arc) and was .25" wide, how would I draw the tangent .125" radii on the ends? In Dolphin it is very quick and easy.

I'm still waiting on the tech to call me.

I wish that I could change the properties of 'Snap'. I wish that I could pick a radius and click on the ends of each line.

Go to

signup on Sorin's forum and you get free access to some videos. The ones for V21 work like V22 when drawing (just different spot in menus). Anyhow they will step you through drawing procedures very nicely.

BTW: Sorin is the one who teaches traning seminars for Bobcad.

TJones, thanks for reminding me about Sorin's site. I forgot about it. :)
