Bridging/Tabbing methods in 3D carving with ArtCAM 9.126 ?

[bahed]

If you suggest incorporating bridges in a 2D toolpath along with my 3D carve - I'd love to learn that as well. The "Help" section for Bridging doesn't look like what I see on my ArtCAM GUI, so I am pretty much sans ideas here !

Select your 2d toolpath
from the tooolpath menu tab select profile options then fill out your requirements for the bridges, if bridge fill in sheet is not open click the down arrow to open

after selecting options click create bridges.
to move bridge, left click center and drag
to increase/decrease size, left click control handle outside of bridge & drag

click update all bridges after any editing.

That's what the "Help" directions say to do as well. However, when I click on the arrow to change it from down to up (or vice versa - I have done both) there is NO drop down info under the 'Profile Opions' to further the process... under any of the 3 options !

Am I not doing something to allow those drop downs to work ? I have the vector highlighted - is there a step I am not getting ?

Select vector, toolpath. Highlight toolpath THEN Check how your profile options appear.

It is very subtle in Gary's post. "Select your 2d toolpath" NOT THE VECTOR!
