trail question

[luke]

I have trail on and do get the trail. What i was wondering if there was a way that the part could change color after it is done cutting. The reason I ask is I had a job that had over 300 small cutouts and wanted to see the parts that are already cut on cnc12. The router moves about randomly cutting them out

Look at your status window, below the job name, do you show a tool loaded? You need to have a tool loaded and you need to set the diameter of that tool so you can see it on the screen. It will change colors as it cuts.

I see that but after it is done it reverts back to the same as the rest. I liked how the Shopbot would show the completed cuts. I do like how you can see the file before you start though

It does change colors. Mine goes gray after it's cut.

I just check mine again and it is gold then when it is cutting it goes gray but when the spindle move to the next part it goes back to gold
