Dot size

Post by JimN »

I just upgraded to acorn 5.1 and am wondering if there is a way to control the size of the tracing dot on the graph while running a job. It is currently quite large and obstructs the adjoining lines
Thanks
Jim

the 'dot' is a representation of the tool diameter being called and used by the g code program.

so if the g code is using tool #1 CNC12 looks up the tool diameter in the tool offset library for tool #1 and make the dot that size.
