I am not sure just what is happening, but selecting all those faces is certainly much more complicated than necessary. Simply select two adjacent edges along the top face and then use the "Finish Selecting Loop" tool. Proceed with Profile and select your desired parameters. You will need ...

Making this: Screenshot_2022-01-18_13-34-10.png I've selected all the interior holes, set cutting instructions, no problem. Select all the outside faces, click "Apply", get this message: <Path.Area> Area.cpp(1312): project failed <Path.Area> Area.cpp(1454): empty projection PathProfile.ERR...

SOLVED!! I deleted all the faces, tried again. Nope... so went ahead and did the outside to see if it would work... yes, it did, but did not cut the shape of the teeth, cut a curve in, then back out. Hmmm AHA... turned off "Use Compensation" and added half the bit dia to the "Extra Of...

Drew shape (toothed gear)... added squares inside. Went to Path, created a Job, selected all the faces of the squares inside the main shape. Set all the cutting depths/speeds/etc. Clicked "OK". Got this!! Screenshot_2022-01-13_20-29-09.png What the what? I have had this happen before, and ...

Try to select two adjacent faces and then "Finish selection loop".

Thanks... that works on the initial sketch, but NOT the others that were created by the Polar Pattern. Hmmm...

You won't get good accuracy with only the default 5mm tool. Here's what the profile looks like. Added the profile op and reattached your file. 2022-01-06_14-17.png I realize that... I used a 1.4mm bit! I profiled it myself, and cut the same shape you detailed... Then, I went to the 1st Pocket and t...

Happy New Year! Made a shape, want to cut it out using a 3018 CNC. Making the shape was pretty easy (compared to my past learning curve!!), but I have 2 questions: 1) Pocket002 has a green warning (?) thingy on it and is highlighted. NO clue what that is or what it means. Screenshot_2022-01-06_13-19...

Show your body : * Select it * Space-bar You can see in your construction tree that the body is gray, so not showing. btw : try not to use Sketcher_ConstrainDistance but Sketcher_ConstrainDistanceX OK... I changed the color -- never have looked at that, as was most always able to see body. Now and ...
