Ran into an error message that I can't figure out what's wrong.
"No toolpath generated for current parameters. Check tool can fit into selected vectors at machining depth"
This pops up when I hit Calculate.

Re: Error
There are many causes for that. A lot revolve around errors with the vectors so try using the Vector Validator tool to see if there problems.
The only way you will get a 100% definitive answer is to attach the file so the toolpaths and vectors can be looked at.

Re: Error
Adrian,
When I attempt to profile the outline of the part is when I receive the error message.
Using 3/16 EM, 6 passes, outside is how I was setting.
The other three toolpaths preview fine.
Thanks,
Ron

Re: Error
The vector is not closed. If you go into node edit mode and look where the start node is there is a gap. If you close the vector then you'll be able to create an outside profile toolpath.

Re: Error
Thanks,
Followed your advice. Not sure what I did but it now profiles.
Without you guys I might have to dust off my scroll saw
The interesting thing is during one of my previous attempts I had inside cut selected rather then outside and it did calculate and previewed the toolpath. Somewhat smaller of course.
Lots to learn,
Ron
