HI all 

in powermill 2017, i can choose multiple paths,then change coolant option.

but in 2020 ~ 2023,i can't do the same way.  i have to change coolant one by one. it take a lot of time.

if i want to change mutiple toolpath's coolant at the same time, how can i do that.

Hi @chrisKDR3N 

I have no idea to change the coolant for multiple toolpaths in NC program
But you can change the coolant in the toolpath before create the nc program.

I have a macro that can do that easily, you can use it for references
