Collapse & Expand Design Tool Sections

A simple feature in V12 is the ability to collapse and expand sections of design tools by clicking on the tool section header.
I like that it keeps the interface from being too cluttered.

A part of the checklist of things to do before running a job: make sure the bits do project far enough for the cut. For many of the jobs I run the above statement is true. Deep cuts near an outer vertical wall obviously require a bit long enough to do the cut. ColletCollision.png However, for some ...

Re: No suitable parts to nest

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

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: 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:
CAD design Vectric

Disclaimer: I've never used those sites for design work.

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%.
