Yes that's what I've been doing Glenn but it's a fiddle especially when wrapping round curves and then changing spacings to even things up.

Re: Phantom holes

The thing that confused me is that where the problem hole is there is no vector to be seen, the bounding vector is much bigger, way off screen when zoomed in to see the detail of the hole at its centre.

Re: Phantom holes

That sounds like you may have it, because there's over 12,000 holes marked I just selected the whole thing iincluding the bordering box, I bet it's drilled a hole at its centre.
Thanks for that advice it's been bugging me all day long.

Re: Phantom holes

There's nothing on any other layer, if you select and copy to another layer it goes with the rest, it shows as a tool path but not a vector.
Tool path selector is set to select holes only.

How can I attach the file for you to see?
