Error on Circle Resize Gadget

Post by Clevedale »

I downloaded the Circle Resize Gadget to try out. It list it as version 9. I didn't see a version 10.0
I have V carve Pro 10.0.
I selected two circles sized at .760 to change to .800 with a tolerance of .04.

I tried different tolerances. Different sizes, etc.
Anyone else with this issue?
Pictures attached.

Thanks in advance.

Things that have bit me in the past :oops:

1. Did you have all circles selected before you opened Gadget?
2. Were circles Ungrouped so Gadget can recognize them As circles?
3. Are the circles Really circles(even just a hair out of round and they aren't recognized)?
I've learned my lesson well. You can't please everyone,so you have to please yourself

Looking at those screen shots those aren't circles. They have flats on them. Where they imported?

The gadget will only work with circles created as such in the Vectric software so basically 4 arcs.

Imported is the problem. Created a couple circles and viola.
They actually are circles. They appear like that when cropping with snip it on my old laptop. Much like when zooming in AutoCAD before regeneration.


Thank you! :D

Can you take a screenshot of those "circles" selected in Node Edit mode? I don't think they are circles. What are you exporting from?
