Duplicate vectors mystery

Post by andyl1000 »

When I use the Select duplicate vectors command, Vcarve lies and tell me there are no duplicate vectors. (This boring patterns was created using array command, fyi.)
When I go to create a tool path, Vcarve tell me there are LOTS of duplicate vectors (as confirmed when I delete them).

Any ideas to get the duplicate vector feature to work?

Thanks!

Hi Andy,

Make sure all your vectors are UNGROUPED before you run the Select Duplicate Vectors command.

Another problem, which is probably more common is you have an open vector that is attached, but is too close to see.
