Merging Vectors
I'm laying out a tray to hold the items I frequently use. While laying out for my caliper, I used rectangles and circles. When completed I went in and trimmed the "extra" pieces to get my outline. I then went to create the toolpath. I get a 2 or more vectors intersecting warning and Carveco Maker will not create the toolpath. I've tried joining/merging the vectors, but am not having any luck. Sure it's simple, but I'm not figuring it out. Any help appreciated!

Have you tried to use the vector doctor? It will give you an indication of where the troubles are, you might just have a small section that's the problem child. When you find out where it is you'll have a couple options to fix it, 1) you can redraw the thing or you can use the weld vector command (tool) 2) or you can use node editing where you grab a node or two and move it or them slightly so there is no intersecting (running over one another) some times it just takes just a thousandths of an inch 2A) or lastly you can use the node editing to delete the offending node (S)

OH I forgot if you grabbed the whole group of vectors you just might have an errant one that's a real pain, sometimes when I get running to fast I get those all over and they are not very big.
