I am making a domino set for my son and as usual, I ran into a problem that has me stumped,
I'm sure it's something simple, but I just can't see it.
My domino set is divided into two separate sheets (in the same .crv file) of fourteen tiles each.
Originally, for the scribe (the line that divides the numbers on each tile) I used a 60 degree V bit.
Later, I decided to change to a 90 degree V, cutting at the same depth so the line would be
a little wider. When I did that, the scribe lines on eight of the tiles on sheet 1 shifted to the left
(see photo). If I go back to a 60 degree V the line are cut correctly. This problem also occurs
if I change the depth of cut on the scribe lines. Everything looks fine in 2D, the scribe lines
are where they're supposed to be.
For sheet two, I changed the scribe bit to a 90 degree and had no problem.
Why is this happening to only eight tiles on one sheet?
**.crv file attached**

Re: Scribe Lines Shifting
Do you have a simulation screen-shot of the 60 deg V "proper" cut?

Here is a screen shot of the scribe lines on page 1 cut with a 60 deg V bit.

Re: Scribe Lines Shifting
You've shifted something without recalculating the toolpaths.
Looks like you moved the vectors on the left hand side, calculated the 90 degree toolpath and then previewed all the toolpaths. Rather than being incorrect the 90 degree toolpath would have been the only that was correct as the others were are all out of date in relation to the current position of the vectors.

Re: Scribe Lines Shifting
The vectors on sheet one are all grouped together. Ungroup them and then regroup the appropriate vectors for each toolpath (Scribe 1, Pips 1, Bevel 1, and Cutout 1) and then recalculate the toolpaths. After doing this, all toolpaths ran as expected with either the 90 or 60 deg. V bits.

Re: Scribe Lines Shifting
I guess when you look at something too long, you tend to miss the obvious. Don't know why I didn't ungroup the vectors on the first sheet. Once I did this and recalculated them, all was good.
Thanks for the help Ralph, much appreciated.
