Applies tooling inside when set to outside

Post by highonlif »

I'm working on a project and using VCarve to insert the text and when I apply the tooling to the outside it does apply to the outside of the whole thing, but also applies to inside of one letter. Does anyone know why it would do this or how to remove that one piece of the toolpath?

Check to see that the inside cut letter is a closed vector or doesn't cross over, or twist.

Just highlight the outside vectors only. Don't highlight all vectors.

Your problem is there are two lines defining that letter. The program thinks that is two different letters. If you delete the inner line it will cut the way you want it to.
You have to look closely to see both lines.
