Vector Help

Post by TAErb »

All,

Good day, need some help solving a problem with trying to create toolpaths to support my current text engraving project. When I start creating the toolpaths it opens a new window displaying "6 open vectors were identified in the selection and are being ignored, there are 12 remaining vectors". I've tried to straightline close these vectors and join "J" them. When I select the "open vectors" and go into the edit menu down to "Join" it doesn't highlight the "join" icon. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Terry,
Try selecting the vectors one at a time and then use the Join/Close by moving to common point (last one on right, bottom row of edit commands). Continue to select them one at a time and add them to the new joined vector. There is a Vectric video that demonstrates this.
