1. how to mark just one contour?
path definition went well so far.
Except the slot.
Should be cut first as pocket.
But I only can mark the body with inner and outer contour:
I cannot mark each separately. Ideas?
2. Is there a way to round a corner?
You need to draw in geometry which defines the region you want for the toolpath.
ok, so import the dxf part for the slot I understand. TY!
is there something in CC to round a corner? There is a way to fillet all corners, but just one?
Just a suggestion from how I deal with rounding corners. If I have a rectangle slot like you have here, and I want the ends to be rounded, rather a full rounded end or just slightly the corner of each part of the rectangle, then I draw in a circle the size of the radius of the circle/ roundness of what I want. Then I make sure that the whole area is highlighted, then click trim vectors. Then I remove the sharp corner and the inner circle that is not desired. Then I click on join vectors and the corner will now be a rounded corner in a full line.
Just remember, the tool diameter and radius cannot exceed the radius you are cutting or the cut will not come out the way you intended for it to be, or the contour toolpath will not even give you a cut within that slot.
Yep! The trick I didn not see was the “trim vectors”! TY!!!
Thank you! That is exactly what I was too blind to see.
