Error creating new form tool

Post by Rene9999 »

Hello,

Recently I have created form tools with this vector without issue. After last VCrave upgrade to 9.512 I have error message. Is there something wrong with the vector?

The bottom node is bit too high so when the shape joins to form the whole tool it forms an undercut. If you move the bottom node down a fraction it will sort it.

Change the arcs to Bessiers and it will be easier to see where the problem is.
