It could very well be that there are two in the originating program but they are grouped so appear to be as one. Or, if it is Illustrator, they might be a compound path that is "exploded" on export.
GIGO seems more likely than only some singles importing as duplicates.

Re: Latest update 11.554 is freezing.
Now that you've done many things at once (instead of the step by step course). Try turning off the software renderer to see if the video driver update and optimization tweaks helped.
The whole point of not using the software renderer is an increased speed in graphics due to hardware acceleration.

Re: Resize STL model
A 2D version of why scaling after is bad: take a vector (path, curve, etc.) of a triangle. Scaling up or down maintains the geometry and relative shape. Now, take a picture of the screen. You now have a bitmap—pixels. When you scale that up 2x then every single pixel becomes 4 pixels (2 by 2 block)....

Gigahertz and cores… oh, my!
Try going into settings and turn software video renderer on. If that works then see if an updated video driver from Dell is available.

Re: Disable popups for successful operations?
without an error message it would be automatically "good". Hmm.. I first got a mac mini in 2009. There was one "defect" in it that took Apple about 12 years to "fix" to my mind. If you dropped down a menu and accidentally missed and clicked on one of the horizontal lines between menu choices instea...

Or a picture frame is a box top with a hole in it so what's good for one can be good for the other.

Re: Help with an error
It might be a closed vector that has a small loop or one the doubles back upon itself. One could use the Vector Validator tool (the check mark icon) to see.

Re: Deep V Groove
It would be better to continuously cut out material from the left and right sides of the groove. Like many toolpaths there is a presumption that you are going to make sure that the tool doesn't crash. The chamfer toolpath is good at what it was made to do—putting a bevel on the edge of a piece of m...

Re: terms used in post processors
I noticed that they don't use the usual GCode calls (G20, G21) to dictate whether its imperial or metric. I suspect you haven't looked at every single post processor available.

Re: bugged up broken software.
First thing first: your choice of thread title is not helpful. The software may contain bugs but it is not inherently "buggy" or "broken". If I offered the thread title "Impatient user doesn't do the right thing" how would you feel? Second thing second: you really should re-evaluate your post and: a...

Re: Deleting a Custom Variable
I'd vote for the notes route. I'm not sure how fiddling about with tool names is that much more elegant. I once saw someone hammering in some stringing inlay into a groove using a an engineer's square. It didn't make a very good hammer and by the end of the process it wasn't much of a precision squa...
