    Simple 2D, but unable to find OFFSET?

    Hi guys.
    I am very new to ARTCAM pro.
    I want to cut simple 2D text using 1.5mm End mill.
    My picture show that every time I use the
    TOOLPATH (2D clearance).
    I get these little offset that I didn't want.
    I want to cut the pocket right where the edge of the VECTOR is.
    Any tip appreciated.
    THank you
    Jeff
