Stumped

Post by nilknarfneb »

Ok, I've been doing this for about a year now and never had a brain cramp like this one.
All I want to do is pocket and V-Carve this. as you can see it doesn't want to to the upper left pocket.
What am I missing? Thanks, Sorry if it's been covered

You have an intersection on four of the shapes. Get rid of that, and I think it will carve fine for you.

You have one "good" shape...the one on the right/middle. Delete the drawings of the other four (intersected) shapes. Then select your one good shape and rotate it around Zero of the job center 5 times. Then calculate the vcarve toolpath on those shapes and it will be peachy-keen.
