Keyhole gadget

Post by dakotablue »

I haven't been able to get the keyhole gadget to simulate correctly since the upgrade. It cuts the slot but doesn't drill the pilot hole and withdraw as it used to. Could someone with the new upgrade try it and see if it's on my end? thanks

It's never simulated anything other than a slot as far as I know. It's a dummy toolpath rather than the actual as VCarve can't show undercuts. You have to use the Preview Vectors option in the gadget to show the actual shape of the keyhole.
