Create Vector Boundary From Selected Components

Create Vector Boundary From Selected Components Icon

This icon can be used to create a vector around the outermost boundary (silhouette) of one or more selected components. The most important use is to generate a vector that can be selected as a toolpath boundary, particularly for 3D Roughing, 3D Finishing and also Profile (cutout) toolpaths.

To use this function select one or more components and click the Create vector boundary from selected components icon. VCarve Pro will create one or more closed vector boundaries around the edge of the selected components. If more than one closed vector is required to create the boundary, these will be created as a group to make it easier to select them. They would need to be ungrouped before they could be edited individually.

Note: You can use Create vector boundary from selected components to create a vector boundary for a composition you have created in Mirror Mode, simply select the components that are visible in the 2D View and apply the vector boundary.
