I would like a simple round over on a rectangle, if I draw the rectangle and use the moulding toolpath I am unable to reverse the direction.
If I draw the rectangle as open vectors I can change the direction of each vector.
Is this the way it works or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Ron

Re: Moulding Toolpath question
The Moulding Toolpath will not allow a Profile inside a closed Rail vector. So yes using two open vectors is one way to make it work. The other way would be to make a smaller square Rail and run the Profile vector on the outside.

Re: Moulding Toolpath question
Go into node edit mode on the rectangle (closed vector), hover over a span, right click and choose Reverse Direction and finally recalculate the toolpath.
