Hi Art,
I can't the the delete function to work on workbench.  I put more duplicates on the workbench than I wanted and so highlighted the one I wanted to delete and clicked on the delete button - was asked if I want to delete all the paths in this object and clicked on yes - the dialogue box went away but nothing was deleted.

Hi John:

  Sorry about that, that delete button is for paths only.. Use the keyboard 'delete" key for now. I will make the path delete key
offer to delete the object itself if it has no paths in future.. thx

Art

Hi Art,
The keyboard delete works - in my case actually it's function-delete (Mac)

There is a bit of a problem with part selections - If I do a Control-A  I can select one piece after another, except sometimes the small part is "behind" another (i.e. small pinion in-between spokes) and I can't get to it.  As a workaround i've discovered that function-A allows me to drag over the entire cut area and select all the pieces.

The ratchet for the chron escapement now appears on the workbench but no tool paths are generated.  Tool size is OK.

John

Hi John:

  True, selection can be difficult at times, Ill see what I can do there..

The Auto selection for the ratchet is fixed for next release. In the meantime youll find if you click in the various profiles
of the ratchet the non-auto pathing works fine on it here. I just did one with no trouble other than Auto not lighting up or working,
so you have to do it manually till next update.

Thx for the bug..
Art
