X4 trim/divide/delete tool wants to delete whole entity??

[raddwurx]

Hello and thanks for any responses.

 

Im having a problem in x4. when i try to use trim/divide/delete tool i keep getting the whole entity to //dash//, instead of just a section

between entities or up against an entity.

 

is there some global setting that is off or?

 

im doing it the same way you do it in school but its not working at home?

 

thanks for the help

Sounds like you have it in delete mode....

Click the other icon (as shown in pic), or push the number 1 when in trim/break.

HTH!!

That usually happens when the entities are not at the same Z plane. Mastercam finds no intersecting entity so the only logical result is to wipe the entire entity.

Sorry, misread your first post.

An easy way to move all entities to z zero is to use Xform project, just make sure you have Move checked, not copy.
