    Cutting On Wrong Side of Two Curves

    Hello All.

    I'm having an issue with Rhinocam cutting on the wrong side of a curve. I have 2 curves set up and I'm trying to create a profile pass. ON one curve it cuts on the inside on the other curve it cuts on the outside. I thought I'd just have to reverse curve directions but that didn't seem to help.

    It might help to define your working area with a rectangle drawn around the whole thing. That helps the program understand where the insides and outsides are.

    Edit your drawing and select the curve with issues and join them to an adjacent vector. Now when you select make sure it all selects. Now redo your gcode with the updated drawing and it will work correctly. This is normally caused due to changes made during the drawing process

    May be thus curves is not closed?
    Check it at property page.
    Usually, for closed curves i place outside and inside machining curves at different layers, then making two tp for outside and inside profiling.
    For open curves you can flip direction by Rhino _Dir command
