Hi, i was planning to make a cross,so i made a cross,i made one then used shape editor in artcam '08 and flood colored the inside of the cross red and the circle on top of it blue.

I attached a screen shot of my settings and the result.

Can anyone help me?

I really don't know where i went wrong.
I tried multiple z passes but still no 3d output.

Btw,3.jpg is the output,2.jpg is the machine relief settings and 1.jpg is the shape editor settings.

Are you trying to get a raised cross? I don't know Artcam, but it looks like your cross is inside the material(redline border). I use Aspire which is "similar"
and it looks like you did a subtract instead of "add" material or else material setup may be wrong.

Good luck

Sorry for the late reply.

The cross was set to 'add' and not subtract.
That's why it felt so wrong.
And that's not only my problem,even text prove to be so wrong since i need to invert it to come up with a 'normal' output.

You never came back to the artcam thread you started. I asked for a screen shot of the settings you use for your tool path. Here's the thing, when you set up your material you need to specify a offset for the top if you are making the top your zero plane.

FWIW,
