Roughing/detail passes from vector list?

Post by bferster »

I’m new to Vectric and loving the drawing s/w. I had been using Easel and they had a nice feature when you could create a roughing and detail gcodes from the same vector drawing. Does Vectric have a similar concept?

Any old roughing and detail or some specific roughing and detail? A pocket, a profile, a 3D roughing, a 3D finishing, a v-carve/engraving, etc.

I'm doing inlays, so I cut out the "female" part out of the base wood with a 3mm end mill, then get the finer parts with a 1mm end mill. Here's an example:

The pocket toolpath in the Vectric products lets you specify multiple tools to do that.
