No Boundary Checkbox

Hi,

The advanced 3-D tutorial shows how a figure can be used as an outer boundary when directing the milling machine. When you select Mill 3-Axis on the tools menu you should get a dialogue box with a checkbox for "Boundary." I don't get the same set of parameters. In fact the parameters for Mill 3-Axis look exactly the same as for the lathe -- no checkbox for boundary.

At first I thought it was the context -- I was trying to cut a face off the side of a turned object. But I set up another example very similar to the tutorial -- same problem.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

If the interface has changed, how then do I set a boundary for a milling machine cut?

Instead of the "Boundary" check box set Z axis to "Air Outside".

Also most companies I contacted would not even respond ..."
