When in Shape Manager and selecting an Arc drawn with Spline, the offset and line extend functions are not working. No problem with others like lines and circles? Also cursor popup info cloud in offset window indicates numbers like 6054 rather than info like "hit OK" I am running V6 build 4.
Thanks in advance for any help

Tony, I get the same result. The spline will not offset or extend.

Thanks Rick, good news/bad news I guess. I think I read this was a bug and fixed on a much earlier version. Seems like it should work though. I guess we should notify the Thermwood team.

The trim and fillet tool does not seem to work on a spline also. Seems like the only thing you can do is to draw a spline.

Re: Shape Manager offset copy/move not working on Arc
Tony,
This is not a bug. We have never had the ability for splines to have secondary operations done to them. They can only be drawn. Sorry, but we will probably not be changing this any time in the near future.

Re: Shape Manager offset copy/move not working on Arc
Thanks for the clarification Scott,
As a work around, I thought I would try and import a shape (with splines) into the part editor/contour mode to see if spline trimming and line extension might work in there. When I imported the shape onto a part the splines did not come with the import. I guess that maybe normal also?
