    Red face Artcam 2008

    Hello.

    I`m Norwegian, so my english isn`t so good, but i try my best!

    I use artcam 2008, and i try to make toolpath to a spider, but i get 3 errors.
    When i group the vectors, i got the same error again, it didn`t help...

    Can someone help me a little bit...


    Greetings from Robert.

    Looks like you need to carefully go over the vectors and clean them up. It's telling you that some are open, and some are overlapping. When you fix them, you shouldn't get any errors.

    Thanx for the answer Ger21.

    But all the vector is made in AutoCAD with polyline, and exploded after i`m finish.

    I try to open DWG with polylines, but i got the same error.

    Vegabond,

    Check the vectors with the vector doctor utility built into Artcam.

    Hello.

    I try that now, and clear the point`s, but i got the error again.

    Here is a picture.

    Edit, i mark all vector ( ctrl + A) and then go in to doctor.

    Robert,

    The only automated way to add bridges is in the profile options.

    If your work is similar you can design a relief that you would merge into your model or just manually add raised shapes "sections that you cut out after machining" that will hold your work.

    Hello again.

    I have a problem again.. When i try to carve (V-Bit carving) i can`t run on centerline. When i generate toolpath, it came many lines in each letter.

    Robert,

    You need to use a single line font.
