Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum. Does VCarve Pro have a way to resize certain vectors to the same size. Just for example, say I had a panel that I were drilling multiple size holes, and I decided to make all the same size, the way I see it is that I will have to go to each and resize. IS there a way to select all, and make the same size. I use the alignment buttons, but there is no "Make Same Size" button.
TIA
Faron

Re: Making same size
Welcome to the Forum!
If they are circle sizes there is a gadget for resizing all that you can get from the Vectric website and install into V-Carve Pro. This gadget is specifically designed for circle sizes.

Re: Making same size
If you know the difference between the initial size and the desired size you can use the offset tool. For example if you have an array of 1/4" diameter holes that you now want to be 3/8" diameter holes then offset them all outside by 1/16". There is an option to delete the originals as well.

Re: Making same size
Or just cheat with the "wrong" tool diameter

Re: Making same size
If you're drilling holes in the true sense by using the drilling toolpath then you don't need to resize the vectors as the toolpath uses the centre point of the vector. It's the size of the tool that dictates the size of the hole with that toolpath not the vector.
