Toolpath bug

Post by jvalencia » Sun May 21, 2017 6:44 pm

I selected some polylines (from exploded text) and created the tooltpaths.

Some of them are incomplete. I've attached the dxf.

Please try increasing the Tolerance for joining segments under
Edit > Application Preferences > Modify > Offset

For example to 0.01.

At 0.1 tolerance I still see incomplete paths. But the result has improved on other letters.

Note that the path for the A letter looks correct to me (assuming you didn't choose any lead in / lead out).

mm you're right on the "A", I'm used to see start and end on the same point (the toolpath).
