Can the profile tool path feature be made to project onto a contoured surface like the v-carve feature?
For some reason the v-carve feature has some problems projecting single line type fonts, or more likely it's just operator error:tired:.

Yes. Just check the "Project Toolpath onto 3D Model" checkbox at the bottom of the Profile Toolpath Dialog.
Sorry Gerry, I forgot to mention that I am trying to project single line fonts on the 3D model. True Type Fonts seem to work OK but the single line fonts created within Aspire seem to be troublesome. I keep getting an open vector error.......PaulQuote:

he probably try to use the vcarving on single vectors..
My final attempt to project a profile onto a surface -- the procedure this time was as with the others and truthfully I'm at a loss as to why my first attempts failed.Quote:

pocketing, vcarving... and I believe sometime the vector Booleans also generate it..
