This is gonna be hard to explain so bare with me here. picture a vertical line. I'm following the line to make the tool go up the left side, go around the end, and come back down the right side, all the time with cutter comp left. In mastercam 7, I would simply make a branch point at the end of the line by making intersections with smaller construction lines, then use the contour>chain command. 9 won't let me do this. Whenever I try, it breaks the chain and has 1 part go up the left side and a seperate chain come down the right. I need it to be all one chain. I tried a contour partial, but it does the same thing, only with a larger number of chains. anybody got any ideas?

Whenever I use box letters, I get a horribly annoying error in between letters that says: "v_read_ent_from_disk():reading in job setup of a different size! temp file created in c:/etc. etc." it still puts the letter in, but it stops to write this file with each letter and it's driving me fruit! any ide3as of what it might be? thanx ahead of time.
