Anyone discovered how to bevel letters like A B D P O Q ?

Post by The Signloft »

Hello! I have been using the V3 today and trying out the bevel feature....Has anyone has discovered how to bevel letters like A B D P O Q R with the new profile cut feature? I have no problems with any other letters they bevel fine just like the sample picture M in the Vectric help....am I missing something?

What problem are you actually seeing? I've attached a jpg showing the toolpaths on these letters and also the CRV file.

Looking at the letters you have mentioned, they are all letters with 'holes' in them - you are selecting all the vectors for the letters (including the holes) at the same time aren't you?

Thanks Brian!! You are awesome! It was the "offset" for the endmill that I was missing! Thanks for the reply! Your file did the trick!
