Adjusting colours for inactive toolpaths

By default, PowerMill shows active toolpaths as green, and inactive toolpaths as grey. Different types of inactive toolpaths are also assigned the default colours.

Tip: To view or modify the default colour scheme, click File tab > Options > Customise Colours. This displays the Customise Colours dialog.

To modify colours of the toolpaths in your project

  1. Make sure the toolpath is drawn but not active.
  2. From the individual toolpath context menu, select Colour > Edit.
  3. In the Select Colour dialog, choose the desired colour, and click OK.
  4. Repeat this for all toolpaths you want to change colour for. This is useful, for example, when you need to create a snapshot displaying more than one toolpath at the same time (as shown below).
