When I have selected 3 axis mill, I don't have an option for setting the Z axis. Is there a setting in the software to activate it?

Please see Z Axis.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. After I have made my shape, I then select the machine to use which is the 3 axis mill. When that window opens I don't have the option to put in the thickness of the part like the video tutorial shows. I don't have the option to select whether it is a through hole or not.

Thanks for your feedback - I see we missed that change. I updated the addendum to answer your question - please see the third item in the addendum.

Hi,
The Zaxis tool bar is always deactivated. How to change the thickness in a 3-D drawing.

Thanks

You need to use a 3D process like milling. You can't set Z for 2D processes like water jet.
