    Instead of my male tool path putting nice square corners on the selected object. The tool path is putting rounded corners on my object. How do i change this back. please help!

    Do yourself a favor Buddie and take 5 minutes to introduce yourself to the site properly, then I’m sure some member with the answer will spend 5 minutes to tell you.

    Welcome to the site 🙂

    Its called the "Say Hello" section 😀

    What do you mean by "male tool path"

    If you select the object > Right Click a node > then click the cross

    This will change it from being rounded node

    Its defo an engravelab function – I’d say check what cutter you are choosing when setting the tool path. If you’re choosing one with a wide tip size then the blue simulation line will simulate a rounded corner – choose a smaller tip size and the "rounding" wont be as noticable.

    Hi Ronnie

    Within Signlab ‘cut’ tab there are options for various tool paths, which I assume are for engraving, but I am afraid I have no idea how to use them!
    Sorry I am unable to help!
    Welcome to the boards, by the way.

    With Engravelab, it you want to follow the line, then use "on line" tool option. Inside, outside paths allow for automatic off-set from the drawn line for differing tool profiles and cut depths.

    As this is modular software, Im guessing your signlab has an engravelab module loaded. Best bet is go back to your supplier for support.

    Hi, When you create your toolpath, there is a check box "Inlay", uncheck this and you should get the sharp corners again. (Cut> Create Toolpath>Male).
