I have a design I am working on.It is the Letter L in a Celtic style. I use the edit find open
vectors and it finds none in the design. I go to vcarve and get a message that there are
two open vectors. Has anyone one had this happen. I have provided 2 screen shots.

Re: Error with find open vectors
The solution to these sorts of problems is usually that the open vectors are grouped together with closed vectors.The select open vectors option then can't find them.

Re: Error with find open vectors
Doesn't the vector validator highlight the culprits?

Re: Error with find open vectors
The vector validator will check for intersections, zero length spans & crossovers in a file but it doesn't check for open vectors
As Adze_cnc has mentioned if vectors are grouped then the tool to find open vectors does not work, you need to ungroup the vectors for it to work

I will check to see if I was doing it with group factors. Thank you for the replies.

Re: Error with find open vectors
Just because you get called out for "open vectors", doesn't have to mean that you've done something wrong.Makingtoothpicks wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 6:02 pm... get a message that there are two open vectors....
