Making lines in Carbide Create

I can’t find a way to VCarve or end mill a simple line without making unnecessary passes in Carbide Create. Trying to add detail to some projects and struggling. Please advise.

You can use the Contour Toolpath with No Offset to run the bit along either a closed/open vector line/curve/shape. Depending on the DOC & final depth settings, you can set it up to make a single or multiple passes.
