    V25: Working with Splines and clean up tools

    Do you ever work with splines? Do you understand what effect exploding splines will have on your posted code? Do you know the different tools BobCAD CAM has for cleaning up geometry? If you answer no to all of these questions then you must watch this video....

    Thanks Al,
    I'm just working on getting engraving fully functional with my mill and this was just what I needed, just when I needed it ;-)
    Regards & Thanks,

    I didn't explain what this had helped me with, I was having issues drag engraving small text, the slack in the system with my engraving adapter fitted was allowing straight corners to become curved and curves to become asymetrical.
    Exploding the text and splitting it appropriately has allowed me to choose the start point and cutting direction thus minimising distortion and yielding useable results at 1.5mm height-



    Thanks Again,
    Nick
