    Exclamation Bad corners

    Hello
    I made a project with vetric. But when I go to 3D View tab and run toolpaths preview it showed me that in some corners my tool will travel too far and these corners will be bad.
    Is there something wrong with the set up? Did anyone of you ever experience the same problem? I'm talking about the inside corners

    You have 41 open vectors, they may look joined but, Nada. Highlight all the vectors and hit the "J" key. It will tell you how many are open and the resultant number of closed vectors after joining with the specified tolerance. The tool path was starting and stopping at each endpoint. Let me know if that works for you.

    Good Luck
    Mike
