clean up drawing

Post by stoltoguzzi »

is it possible do cut or trimm a contour in VG, I can delete some points on a vector but if I have intersection can i split the crossing vectors to have 2 vectors an delete one of them?

I don't know if this is exactly what you want....

But if you right click with the node tool on a vector it gives you some options for cutting vectors at a given node. Its not really a trim function but could be used for what you want to do.
Simply create a node where you want to break the vector and then use the above command to break the vector at that point.

Good Luck,
Tim

True. There is no way, that I know of, to trim a vector in VCarve exactly to another vector.

As Far as I know VCarve is not intended to be a CAD Modeler. To get the precision modeling you are looking for you need to use a CAD program.

Good Luck,
Tim

I will try now using some modeling software to clean up drawings, it looks promising...
