Helical Trajectory Milling Issue

I do quite a bit of helical trajectory milling but since updating to creo2.0 M110 the helical milling is quite slow calculating the tool path. At the bottom of the curve cut menu there is a button that you can turn off that is for viewing toolpath updated for every modification. When

I fear the defaults are hard coded and cannot be changed. For reference, I created an article in our database with all the information I could find: http://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS176615

Thanks Gunter,

That is what I thought, that it was not changeable. but at least it you are aware of the issue and it might help to get it changed.

I would like to see a bottom stock as well as the profile stock that is available.

Type mfg_trajectory_preview no into the config.pro using a text editor. Save the config.pro and either restart Creo or go to the config.pro in Creo and import the your edited file.

Thanks Dave,

Tried but It didn't work I wish it did because that is what I am looking for.

With trajectory milling making the tool follow curves or other predefined paths with 2, 3, 4 or 5 axes, "bottom" is probably not always clear defined, so there is no extra option for bottom_stock_allow.

Maybe you can abuse CHK_SRF_STOCK_ALLOW for this purpose?
