as you can see in my image. The center trinity is being completely milled. I have them locked together on the same layer but it continues to do this as if the center trinity is not even there.
I have copied from the first layer and reversed the image. The first layer cutout is perfect. But the second layer plug will not cut out the trinity.
I tried a whole bunch of combinations. If you select just the outside vector and the center design, it works. Any combination of the larger design & the smaller design fails. ???
I don’t see any overlapping or self-intersecting vectors, so no idea.
Best I can suggest is to do them separately. I create 2 small offsets around the center design so I could overlap the 2 cuts & it worked fine.
Wow… great tips
I did download v8 but didnt like how you could not select advanced vcarve and could not figure out how to make it work the same. Maybe I have the wrong version of v8 so I will try to get it and figure it out.
If I go the other way, I will have to do the center first and then plane it down and then do the outer even though I am using the same wood…
V8 combines V-carve & Advanced V-carve into the same operation. However, it outputs 2 toolpaths, so you can order them. You can keep the clearing bit & Vee bit together for fewer toolchanges.
