Generating G-code, omitting contours

[Kim Hoejin]

Hi, everyone

In ABViewr V14.1, I've tried to generate simple dwg to G-code as attached.
Processing queue makes only 2 contours, but i need 4 contours.
Which setting are wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

The current version of ABViewer doesn't enable to create different contours in one entity.

Can you please describe your task? Do you need to configure different settings for these 4 contours?

Kind regards,
Svetlana

Hi Svetlana

My machine can move 4 contours as attached (4Contours.PNG).

At first time, i have gotten 4 contours with this version of ABViewer.
But now I can not select other 2 contours as attached ( 2Contours.PNG)
What is problem?
Is there any restriction at software?

Hi,

I have examined the file you sent. If you zoom in the top left corner and the bottom left corner, you can see that the lines are not connected. That is why you have two contours.





If all the lines are connected, ABViewer will show 1 contour consisting of 4 lines.

Kind regards,
Svetlana

Hi Svetlana

My machine need to cut 4 contours of the shape.
In this case, should i disconnect all corners by editor?

Hi,

This one contour consists of 4 entities. Every its line/arc will be cut off.
