Hi hx,

if you want to change the menu when you click direkt on "Toolpaths" you can change the "explorer.ppm" in the Directory "<powermill Version>\sys\hci\popups\" but beware what you are doing in this file, because incorrect changes may cause PowerMILL to misfunction. Also you have to make this changes after every powermill update.

Otherwise when you want to add commands to the menu when you click direkt on an specific toolpath you can add the file "toolpath.xml" into the same directory where your "user_menu.xml" is located and add there menu items.

Hi, Feuerbowle

I defined an variable for system. Home="E:\Autodesk\Custom Files"

At the folder "Custom Files" exists an pmill2 foler to store my user_menu.

the Toolpath.xml file placed in the folder:

E:\Autodesk\Custom Files

E:\Autodesk\Custom Files\pmill2
