I am having a problem with the NC window, I open it up and want to add cutter comp to a file or turn the drilling Cycle output to off , Its all greyed out I have to change like Coolant to on then back to none to get them to unlock. Anyone else have this issue? I have attached a screenshot of the problem.

Do you have your toolpath selected and highlighted in your nc program menu?

Yes, I selected it and highlighted it even activate it. Doesn't seem to matter. The only way I can get it to change is by changing something in the window.

I see what your saying you select inside the window. In 2016 all you had to do is select the NC program in the left hand side and everything would unlock. Got it Thank you !!
