Imported Toolpaths Incomplete

Software Carbide Create

I’ve learned that when I’m making duplicates of small items, it’s easiest for me to perfect the item first. Then I import that c2d file into a “Production” c2d file. I’m finding several defects in the toolpaths for the imported result. i’m attaching both the original creation and the “Imported / Unedited” files.

Here are the faults I’ve found with the imported toolpaths:

  1. REST toolpaths are not imported at all. I’ve crabbed about this one before.
  2. Vector Layer names are not imported.
  3. For Contour toolpaths, Stock to Leave is lost.

That’s a bummer. Rather than import, how about Save As… with a new name & then go from there? Or just continue in the same file?

In this case, what I’m aiming to do is get the art figured out, then clone it about 14 times to produce a flock of the same thing on a sheet of 24 x 12 x ¼ Baltic Birch. Ultimately I think I’m making a couple hundred as my feeble contribution to the memory care center where my wife is now. I’ve got several versions and still don’t know how many of which they want.
