Modeling in 2 rail sweep

[tracys]

I am quoting this section of curved crown. Is there a way to assign a toolpath that will only cut the curved part and not the blank area around it. I am trying to use the time estimate within Aspire and it throws it off with all that blank area.

Tracy, do you have or can you create a closed boundary vector all around the perimeter of the curved molding? Just left-click it and then create your roughing and/or finishing toolpaths and the tool(s) will stay within that vector. There is also an option to offset the boundary vector if you want to go a little farther out.

That was exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!
