Just spent about a half hour re-creating a drawing in Parts Wizard for no real good reason, other than the folks at Artcam are paranoid.
I had a sign where I drew the outline of a dolphin and it was in the upper left hand corner above a name. When I tried to select the Dolphin to work on it it would overlap the name and not select properly. Oh well no real problem, I will just temporarily move the name out of the way and proceed.
Wrong! After moving the name the damn thing will not cut. It has too many operations on it now. Naturally I did not find this out until the very last step while trying to generate a tool path.
I understand that this is not the full functioned version of their program. I also don't want to spend a bunch of time doing work that has no real purpose. If the program is to be worth very much this is one feature that needs to be made, at least marginally, useable.
