I was asked to cut out a part for a friends Pick-N-Place machine. Carbide Create is able to generate a tool path for the holes, but the outside vector is failing for some reason. I just keep getting an empty toolpath. Here is the SVG file I was provided:
I have tried to “fix” the SVG in several different programs and keep getting the same result. I also updated to the latest available CC (778) and still no dice.
This is because the geometry is doubled up on itself:
Work around the geometry selecting and deleting each redundant node:
until one arrives at:
Attached as a v7 file.

How was that geometry made? Do you have the source file?
This worked great! Thanks.
Well some PCB software exported this SVG:
which I brought into CC 767. CC Complained that it had 84 open vectors which I used the “Try to Join” option in CC to correct. That created the file I originally uploaded.
It was probably a 3D output, so it gave you both the top & bottom vectors. .dxf will do that if I forget to switch it to 2D.
