Putting cut paths into effect, and seeing the path in the drawing

[motoguy]

I've been playing with my ruleset a bit, trying to find a good universal set of rules. I noticed that if I create a rule (hole, curves, whatever) -solely- to disable DTHC, but NOT change the feedrate, the rule does NOT show up (as a section of blue) in the cut path. If I go back into the rule, and change the feedrate to anything other than 100%, then the affected path will show in the toolpath.

Will a rule that keeps feedrate at 100%, but deactivates DTHC actually function, even though the affected cut rule zone does not show on the toolpath? Or, affected cut zone display on the toolpath perhaps tied to the feed rate entry, and not the other parameters...meaning the cut rule will work, but it won't show on the toolpath display?

The blue indicates a changed feed rate. There are small crosses when a code snippet is applied by a rule.

Thanks Les!

I quite often use a feed rate of say 99.8% just to see where the rule being applied.
Don't forget you can check in the simulation to see whats happening as well.
