    Cut2D 1.5

    Seasoned Cut2D users...Is there a setting I'm missing...I need to cut on just a straight line, but Cut2D informs me that a straight line is not a vector and will be ignored from the tool path, is there a workaround for this...

    Thanks in advanced

    If you use a Profile tool path it should ignore the closed vector requirement.

    If you want a V-groove or concave groove instead of a flat bottom cut that you get with a flat tip end mill, just insert the V-bit or ball nose tool you want to use and let the software keep thinking it is a flat nose end mill. You will need to set the maximum depth of cut you want in the software settings as usual for a profile cut. You have the options to cut on the vector or to either side of the vector.

    You will not see a V-groove or concave groove in the simulation though.

    It works this way in Vcarve Pro. I assume that Cut2D has similar capabilities.
