    Stray Cuts

    I'm currently trying the CB Plus Beta in Demo Mode. When I create a profile from my dxf I get several additional lines (actually extremely narrow loops) that are close to my profile offset (I've attached file). I assume this is a result of some strange geometry in my dxf via Illustrator. Is there a way to delete them entirely in CB?

    Select all with Ctrl A and Join all polylines with Ctrl J, then apply a Profile MOP.
    The above worked for me in CB 0.9.8

    Attached is the .cb file I'm having an issue with. Those stray cuts I'm speaking of are almost invisible if not for the fact that Rapids are going everywhere to take care of them. Also, I have a number of slots in my parts that are being cut twice (once in and again on the way out). Is there a way to control this in CB or do I have to plan for this in my drawing?

    I'm sorry I can't open the .zip file you attached. Can you try attaching it again please or alternatively you can email it to me at 10bulls at gmail dot com.

    Many thanks!
