Setting up a profile cut in vcarve pro… cutting out a sleigh. When it generates the tool path, it cuts it once in one direction and then does it… again in the other direction after it shows it already cut out. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post a screenshot with the toolpath window open?

Sounds like a double line, not a single line vector. Can you post the file so someone here can take a look?

Thanks for the response. That is exactly what it was. Had to zoom way in to see it.
