    Hi Guys, I think I may have stumbled on a small bug here :)
    On all my plane designs I use the centerline tool to scribe a mark in the fuse at about 20% depth for the canopy so airbrushing is easier. I have not had this happen on the last few versions but on my upper arc of the canopy it cuts 24 segments for the arc(default), the weird thing is I have a lower profile arc along the bottom and that cuts as one line !! Any help would be great!! :D

    Thanks

    Hows this shaun :) Sorry for the bad english :lol: When my upper arc is getting cut it makes 24 small cuts to make the arc, but the bottom arc is cutting as one path or 1 line!! Does this make sense!!!
    Also it makes the cuts clockwise from the top down so it cuts like 1/2" and then moves down and cuts another 1/2" and so on!!!
    Thank you
    John

    Ok I got ya now.
    It has something to do with how the algorithm decides how to cut it. When you drew the arc did you use a lot of arcs or phlatten it? For some reason your arc is being seen as multiple segments instead of one long arc and is tring to cut it from the opposite direction that it was drawn. This is a known bug and most of the time can be fixed by welding the arc with the weld tool or re drawing the arc from the opposite direction.
    Hope that helps.
