Vector Selection
Hi - New to Maker. Is there an easy way to go back to editing vectors once the toolpaths have been created? Seems once the toolpaths are created whenever I want to select a vector to work with it it wants to default to paths editing. If I click around enough something changes that I can finally select the vector and edit it.
TIA

Hi Ron,
Form the Project tree, toggle the visibility of your toolpath using the light bulb icon to the right of the toolpath name; this leaves the vectors visible but the toolpath previews hidden.
Please take the time to complete the Carveco Fundamentals training course on our company website: https://carveco.com/support/training/
That worked. So as long as the toolpaths are visible that will be the 'active' tool?
The visibility of a toolpath preview does not determine which tools can be accessed or not. The availability of tools differs when a toolpath preview is selected rather than when a vector is selected; many tools are context-sensitive.
Great - Thank you for the response and help.
I just succeeded in solving the problem of not being able to select a vector by getting a snow flake or a cross bar with a bulls eye in it. After I toggle the visibility of toolpaths off (icon opposite the Toolpaths item in the Project tree), I can select any vector without frustration.
