Updating Tool

[canyon289]

Hey,
So I decided to learn Gibbscam over Mastercam and I had a quick question.

After I select a tool and operation and click "do it" and it creates the tool path, how do I update the toolpath if I have to change the tool? Does it do it automatically or do I have go go through one by one?

There's a "Do It" and "Redo" button. You are looking to "Redo" it.

Thank you, as usual it was some simple solution that I missed.

I have one more question and I don't want to clutter the forum.

I'm "machining" a 1 inch plate and I want the contour to go to a Z depth of -1.1 inches so the tool machines through the plate, but the gibbs can won't let me do it.

It will let me with -1 but not -1.1. I've checked the work envelope and it's ranges from z0 to z-2.

If you need the file please let me know and I'll upload it.

It would be much easier if you would upload your file. Please include what version of Gibbs you are running.

I apologize I'll do that next time. As it turns out I have a question for lathe now anyway.

Thank you for all the help. Learning on my own is difficult and I appreciate all support I can get.
