Tool Paths/Enroute6

Post by Tocobill »

Hello All, Bill here. Just wanted to mention the wealth of info I have gotten from this site just reading other folks issues. Just when I thought I was getting pretty good at this; albeit slowly, I hit an impasse. I don't want to toss the work and start over. I am using enroute6 and am doing a sign that I have modified quite a bit from a dxf download. When I do the simulate ortho, only about 3 of 10 tool paths get run and the tool goes back home. I have tried everything, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

HHmmm. I responded yesterday, but it didn't post.
Anyway, I looked through the 430 page Enroute manual and can't seem to find creating new tool paths. In my short history of working with Enroute, all I usually do is Kerf Compensation and it all gets tool pathed. Until now. I downloaded a couple of other items and it seems that not everything is tool pathed there either, just missing a few. I played around with my original problem and actually picked up a couple more tool paths, but not all. How does one go about adding missing tool paths? Thanks for your help.

Just curious what happened to this thread. Was it relocated?
