Hello. First post here.
Is there a better way to re-assign a vector to an existing toolpath other than the vector selector?
Background: I am coming from other software and albeit being a much more simple program it was very easy to re-assign vectors to toolpaths: Just click on a list of vectors in the toolpath and then select/deselect the vectors in the drawing.
In comparison the vector selector in Vcarve seems clunky and unreliable. Best method I came up with so far is to move the vectors I want to a separate layer and select them this way.
Any help appreciated.

Re: Re-assign vector to toolpath
I only manually select a vector in very rare instances. "Select vectors on..." layers and "Associate with toolpath" to me are the best ways of avoiding problems.

Re: Re-assign vector to toolpath
If you double click on the name of toolpath in question, the toolpath pane will display. The vectors for that toolpath will be highlighted in the 2D drawing pane. Right click on any of the highlighted vectors and a window will display, with options including move the selected vectors to a new layer, if you wish.
