Great Video, and the easiest to follow that I have seen to date. And excuse me if this has been addressed already... But in the Tool Library section.. I believe you had already added your library for your machine. I say this because as I cycled through the Holders as you did nothing comes up as it did for you. So with that I became stuck. My machine is a Wright CNC plasma machine using Mach3 to drive the machine.. Do I need to download the Vendor Library for Mach3 Plasma? Or is there a different library I need to download or is there a work around? I hope that made sense.. Thx, Kev

For some reason my simulation keeps cutting out the outside of the square first then the bolt holes. I'm worried the part will fall through before it cuts the holes. I can't seem to get it to work correctly and can't find anything to correct this issue.😢

You can do it in two ops if your worried about it. Do the bolt holes in one operation, then cut the outside of the square, and post the whole program out. Also, but I’m not sure if this could be it, double check your arrows on the paths you selected, make sure they are on the correct side of the line.
