Mastercam X4 bounderies?

[michael_s]

im using mastercam x4. im trying to make a contour for a mill. im trying to make the letters IT raised 1/16" on a 3" x 2" aluminum coupon. the problem im having is i dont know how to set it to face around the IT and not cut around the "I" when its cutting around the "T" and vise versa. Is there a way to set a boundery or no cut zone? How do i set the contours so that they don cut into each other?

the "I" & "T" must be an enclosed shape

a single line is not recognised as an island
take ® for example
the circle is the outer boundary, the D would only be considered as an island,,,you have to create an offset around the entire character, and the D is an island inside the island
