Inner and outer toolpath.

Post by ca.280 »

Cutting an elipse that has the center also cutout. If I setup the outer toolpath to "outside", Vectric automatically
sets the inner toolpath to "inside". Not what I want, want both set to "outside". How do I disable this feature??
Thanks.

Given multiple nested entities the Vectric programs try to figure out which is inside and which is outside. That's a good thing. Give it two nested rectangles and you get a nice picture frame of the right size.

For this you're going to be creating two separate toolpaths—one for a each ellipse.
