CAD Edit

If you need to make quick changes to the CAD geometry to get a new or different toolpath, you can do it inside Inplot.

The right mouse popup menu will give you all the choices for making lines, arcs, along with editing functions for trim, fillet.

Plus more functions in the Main Menu.

Moving Around:
The alt-F1 key will zoom to the extents of the CAD drawing. You can toggle between the last two zoom views in the plot window with the F2 key. Alt-F2 will shrink the scale of the view by half.

Record Toolpath:
Normally the displayed toolpath is plotted as CAD elements. You can zoom in and out on the toolpath. You can look at it from all angles and print it.

Mirror CAD:
With 'Mirror CAD for Lathe' on, you can draw only one half of the part and it will be automatically mirrored to fill in the other half of the part.
