Simulation Takes Forever To Simulate

1

I created a Christmas ornament but the simulation takes a very, very long time to do. There are 104 vectors in it. I have attached the file.

Is there something I can do to change this?

I downloaded your file and the first contour tool path is what is taking so long. I disabled that tool path and created an advanced vcarve and the simulation came up in about 3 seconds. You may not want the advanced vcarve but doing a contour of the image is what is taking so long.

Here is the simulation with #122 1/32" end mill and a 15 Degree v-bit.

Guy, thanks for the reply and debug. I do not have either of those tools. I think I will just look for a different SVG to carve the ornament.

Part of the problem is you have doubled-up/stacked vectors:

I doubt that the 1/16" tool you are using is capable of a 1" plunge cut though, and Iā€™d suggest verifying/checking/testing your tool definitions.

EDIT: The tool definition seems to be part of the problem ā€” could you post a screen grab showing how the tool is defined?
