Error with find open vectors

Post by Makingtoothpicks »

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.

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.

Doesn't the vector validator highlight the culprits?

The vector validator will check for intersections, zero length spans & crossovers in a file but it doesn't check for open vectors :lol: :lol: :lol:
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 :lol: :lol:

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

Just because you get called out for "open vectors", doesn't have to mean that you've done something wrong. :D
