I just purchased Sprutcam 7 and have been going threw the tutorials online but am having trouble getting pocketting or 2.5D pocketting to work right and figure its something really simple that I'm missing. When I sellect the surfaces of the pocket and hit run the pocketing ruteen does not seem to see the surfaces and continues to the edge of the stock. What am I missing. Thanks

High Scott,
I have attached a SC project file (Zipped) and a screen cap.
The SC file would still need some perimeters tweaked, this was just quick and dirty.
HTH,
Gerry

Well done Gerry as usual!
I now know the use of bottom level and top level, I was wondering how that was used.
The only hiccup was the squiggly mark ahead of the extension, i renamed that and removed it and it would open in sprutcam. (probably needed to be decompressed first).
I printed and saved this mini tutorial for future reference! I usually use the wizards for pocketing wood parts, those 2x4 cut off's make good pencil boxes ha!

Thanks for more good info!

Thank you Mike and you're welcome :wave:
Yes, sorry Mike, the attached SC file was a zip file. WTG on getting it to work for you.
