Ted is correct. If I place a closed vector around the open vector it will nest themMy interpretation of that info about open vectors is that you can have open vectors within a closed boundary.

Re: No suitable parts to nest
The documentation says that, but I am unable to get nesting to work with open vectors.
I'll send a note to support@vectric.com for clarification.

Re: No suitable parts to nest
I'm trying to nest a closed vector. Except it is not a closed vector. Choose Edit/Selection/Select All Open Vectors Screenshot 2024-03-24 115633.png It selects the object you are trying to nest.

Re: Latest update 11.554 is freezing.
Open the menu item "Options".
Scroll to find the heading "3D View Settings"
Scroll down to the 10th item "Use Software Renderer"
Change from "No" to "Yes"

Re: Desktop to Pro upgrade
Your best answer will come from emailing sales@vectric.com From the FAQ: Minor updates are always free to anyone who has the same major version (e.g V11.5 will be free to all owners of V11.0 software). Any major version of the software released within 12 months of you purchasing the software is supp...

Re: I need a design drawn....any links to paid services
Is it 2D (just vectors) or 3D (vectors and models)? A photo would help.
You can find CAD design services on gig work sites (search for cad design services) such as Fiver.com, Upwork.com, etc. Use a search term such as:

Re: Rotary machining time
If you are using a 3D model for the rotary then you may see substantial times savings using Milo Scott's continuous rotation strategy. For some jobs this method can reduce the machine time by 80%.

Re: Rotary...Can I cut below the rotation axis?
I would not do that as a rotary job. I think that is a better candidate for segmenting and slicing. From the Help file: The Segment tool can be used to split a 3D model into separate chunks or segments to allow them to be machined using a 3-axis CNC machine. To get to the segmenting tool you first h...

Re: Deep V Groove
You may wish to review how the bit is mounted in the collet. I would expect more clearance between the cutting portion of the bit and the collet nut. The shank of the bit should not go past then top of the collet.
For reference:

Re: Spiral rewind
WinCNC responded and explained: The small green box to the right of the A axis position indicates a material offset. The L28/L28.1 restores the machine zero but doesn't clear material offsets. You can remove that offset using a G92.1A command and that should get the L28.1 command working as expected...

Re: Spiral rewind
A few more test show that sometimes it works, sometimes it sorta works, and other times it completely messes up.
I'll keep experimenting.
I repeated the first test I did and now it works. Maybe L28.1 just needed to warm up.
Curiouser and curiouser.

Re: Spiral rewind
Experimenting with L28.1 on my WinCNC 3.1.00 setup did not behave as documented. I zeroed my A axis I executed G1 A527 I executed L28.1 and the A axis reset to a number where at least the first digit was cut off and the rest of the display Screenshot 2024-03-19 195117.jpg I tried a G0 A0 but killed ...
