Tool path problem
Hi, I am trying to cut the toolpath shown in the picture, all I want is the outer profile but for some reason it is implying I am using the wrong tool. I am trying to recreate the original shown in other image. Any help would be gratefully received as it is driving me nuts...

Re: Tool path problem
It will toolpath ok if you set the it machine On the vector but otherwise it won't as that outside vector is not a closed vector. If you close it then it toolpaths fine with outside or inside settings.

Re: Tool path problem
I have closed the vectors but the dialogue box says there is 1 open vector and I can't find it. If I cut on the line I will loose the chamver around the perimeter, I have never encountered this problem before...

Re: Tool path problem
Sorted! Many thanks. I used the search for open vectors from the edit menu instead of using the join vectors icon, once forud the vector was joined in the usual way.
