Help with Vcarve file Please

Hello ALL!
I’m trying to create a depth chart for my own personal use and when I show simulation, it doesnt show my vee crave. Not sure what i am doing wrong? I have attach my file if anyone can check it out.

Vee depth chart.c2d (1.8 MB)

Carbide Create cannot preview V endmills unless they are used in V carving toolpaths, and V carving toolpaths cannot be applied to open paths.

You would need to draw up the geometry necessary for V carving to a given depth by drawing up the endmill and then working up the intersection of that and a rectangle of the desired thickness:

and you might want to change the text to use V carving as well:

okay. I think i understand… How did you get the decimal point to stay? When is typed my numbers i used .010 but it only saved as 010?

I figured it out. its the font type i chose. THANK YOU!!

Carbide Create is not internationalized so as to allow using anything other than a period as a decimal separator. In order to use other than whole numbers you will need to set your decimal separator in your OS to a period.
