Sorry MT, I thought you were saying cut paths only worked for closed loops.

You can use the cut path tool on any path which divides the board into two regions. It is a topological condition. Closed curves divide the board into an inside and an outside. A path through the...

Your path is made of pieces. You need it to be a single curve. With all selected, under view "toggle non end points". The red dots which are still visable are end points. Tweak each of the interior...

If you click on the cut path icon the cut path is removed. If you click it again, it comes back and shows you the dialog box. I was double clicking on that for years and thinking it was stupid. I...

I am not sure I know what you mean. The mpc you attached has a cut path with the 1/8 bit assigned and a max depth of 0.250. The bit cuts on the outside of the path. If you simply assign a bit to the...

If you had used the snap grid, it would have worked. Both ends have to exactly make it to the edge of the board. Moving without the snap would always leave one end short of the board edge.

With...

Looks good to me. I have never done a cut like that. Will it be on a sled? Leaving the rollers while cutting is always risky.

If you want to make the curve a cut path, you have to connect the pieces together and have the beginning and end on the edge of the board. Now you have it as a bit path which does not cut through and...

As an exercise to see how wonderful these tools can be, use them to draw a rectangle with rounded corners as follows: With connected lines and snap to grid on, quickly draw a closed rectangle with 45...

I use these tools all the time. I have the drawing tools and utility tool bar...

Check out the Utility Toolbar. View-Toolbars check the check box on utility toolbar. You are in for a treat if you have not seen it before!

This is a simple path and so there are many ways to do it. When making more complicated shapes involving line segments and curves, I find that to make the whole path using connected lines first. Move...

Is this what you are trying to do? If it is, I first drew a horizontal connected line with vertices spaced at 0.75 - 0.75 - 0.75 - 3 snapped to a grid of 1/8 spacing. Then I lifted the second vertex...

Tabs and/or a sled.

The path does not have to be closed for cut path but it does have to cut the board into two pieces. The path can start and end on edges of the board.
