Finish toolpath

Post by jdonaldson »

I'm trying to carve a birth plaque using vector arts rocking horse, the roughing tool path works fine just cuts out the horse but when I run the finish toolpath it cuts the entire project not just the rocking horse ( the horse turns out fine but it takes forever to surface the entire project.

thanks in advance

Did you create a boundary vector? Use the create vector boundary tool to create it if you didn't. Make sure it's selected when you create the roughing/finishing toolpaths.

Thanks, I knew that at one point and just forgot ( at this stage forgetting is so much easier than learning or remembering )
