Passes Per Cut Changing in Vectric

Post by lward1988 »

Ok, i've been trying to figure some things out with this 2dpro and i've hit a slump. I have one issue, that isn't damaging, but more or less pita to deal with is the "passes per cut" that vectric puts in place. I'd like to know more about how to change this in a vector, and it not revert back to the initial setting. I am trying to put a "recess" around a cutout for a door stop. It needs to be 0.19", well vectric keeps saying "5 passes" so I can to 1 pass and it somehow keeps reverting to "5" when I check the vector. I've deleted and then taken the number down and hit "ok" and it seems it keeps doing that...

What have you set for the depth of cut possible for the tool?

I don't run Cut2D but I would surmise it has a tool database in which depth of cut for tools is set.
