Then the next page is the same as if you right clicked in the grid box. "Property Page" First column is front+back-, next colum is left+right-, the the next is floor+cieling-, the the next is tool, and you cant type anything in there.
I'm getting a little farther with it, but still may be too complex for my simple little mind
I am still trying to figure some of it out also. You dont have to start the tube wizard you can just start new tube then right click in the grid and edit tube. If you want to change the material or tool at the top tool bar on the right end there is a M for material and a T for tool. If you click on them you can change the diameter of the tube and the radius of the bend. I havent figured out what the K factor is or offset but the CLR is the centerline radius of your die. All of your measurements are from the center of the tube.
