1.) Draw tool on layer 1, which will display at all times - holders, etc., on layer 2, which will display only during Show Path

2.) Draw on XY Plane

3.) Put the center of the driving corner radius for the tool at XY 0

4.) Save the file as SH3 in the appropriate CTG directory

  Is it possible to create a custom lathe tool for show cut? I think I have tried about every possible combination. .sh3, open closed profile, layer 1, xy, zx work plain. What am I missing? This form tool will plunge into work piece.
