    Hello;

    I am a newbie with Aspire and I need to cut the countour of my shape:

    But as you can see it is sliced with multiple lines and it always complain about the open contours. Basically it say that if I want to cut in a simple contour I need to join it first with the countour tool. (sorry the screenshot is in french)

    So for the moment it is doing something like this but I don't want the inside cuts. upload_2022-11-17_12-55-36.png

    When I try to join two contours it is doing some crapy stuffs like :

    You can delete the "inside" lines, then select the outside profile you wanted and create a tool path. Once your profile toolpath is created, you can then click "edit", "undo", to restore the original drawing.
