I am working on a logo inlay for a floor. The logo was produced in Illustrator, saved and given to me as a dxf. I used AutoCad LT to clean it up, getting rid of all the extra lines and closing up open lines.
I saved it as a dxf and imported it into PW2. It is basically Text that was drawn in Illustrator and a hand plane outline.
To make my part file, I wanted to do a final clean up pass so I was offsetting the lines and noticed that on four of the letters, parts of them offset in different directions. I went back and worked thru them until I had them all offset the way I wanted them and grouped the line segments.
I can now click anywhere on the letter and move them as complete objects.
The Problem:
When I try to do an Area Clear tool path, the four I had to work on give me an error “Group To Area Clear Contained No Closed Vectors”.
I have Zoomed in on each to try to fine an opening, but I can’t see any. If I move them out of sequence nothing appears to be left behind.
Open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Les
