VR turning doesn't show material removal.

Hi there,
When running a program recently on VR turning, I bored a 6mm diameter hole to a depth of 15mm with a pecking cycle, then changed to a 10mm drill and bored in 10mm. However the material was removed with the 6mm bit but not with the 10mm bit so when I show a section of the piece when I am finished, the 10mm hole won't show up.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.

Rgds,
Tim.

Are you in the 2 D or 3D simulation?

Are the tools defined correctly in the tool library? the description may say 10mm but is the tool dimension the same?
