    Default Replicating many toolpaths

    I have a part that has a bunch of toolpaths and now I would like to replicate it 12 times across the material

    I know how to use nesting but how can I have the new vectors automatically be added to the toolpaths of the original without clicking each one and spending an hour doing it 12 times for each vector

    Put the vectors on a layer then select that layer for the tool path each time

    Davo,
    An easy way is to draw and toolpath ONE completely and separate each toolpath on a new layer and then in vector selection tab associate the toolpath.
    THEN array and recalculate.
    with 30-60 buttons on a blank, and up to 240 buttonholes and 480 lines it's a lifesaver.
