Engraving a single line

[Jibeji]

Hello,
I would like to countersink an oblong hole with Cut2D. I’d like to use a V-Bit (larger than the hole diameter) on a single line in the middle of the hole, as shown in the attached picture.

When I select the single line, I can’t create a toolpath because the line is considered as an “open vector” and is ignored.
Is there a workaround for doing that?
Or if there is a better solution, I will be happy to read your suggestions.
JB

Perhaps I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to chamfer the edge of a previously milled the oblong hole or do you want to make the entire feature in one go?

I have often created a profile tool path ON an open vector without a problem. Did you choose to create a "profile" or a "pocket" tool path?
If you chose "profile" perhaps you can upload the .crv file so that we can see what is going on.

JB...
You will be able to toolpath a single open vector if you select "Profile ON Vector" You must be selecting another option.

That said, the best way to accomplish your task and have the tool cutting in a way that makes it "happy" is to offset your outer vector inside .020-.030" and perform a directional profile cut in your preferred direction and at a depth that gives you the desired chamfer. Don't forget that few Vbits are true points at the tip.

Yes, I want to countersink after the oblong hole is milled. I have tried with Profile Toolpath and Pouch.

I am a little bit confused with "Profile ON vector". My software is in French language and I don't find this feature.
Would you please tell me where it is?

It's an option on the Profile toolpath.

That is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you very much for your help.
