    If I draw a basic circle or square, the inside & outside cut tools work. However, I am trying to make some gears, and the inside and outside cut tools are centering on x=0,y=0, and not the shape being selected - I've seen this before, but I have not idea how to fix it.



    I have installed the Involute Gear plugin as per this article. Attached files [​IMG]

    That is a sure sign that the part is grouped. Right click the gear and click explode. When you make a gear it automatically groups them so you can interact them with other gears. If you over lap them when exploded the lines will stick to each other. :good:

    Ha! I had slept on it, and this morning had a theory about that. I was just about to post saying I had figured it out when I spotted your response.

    Yes, once I explode the piece, the cutting tools work properly.

    Thanks!
