    Good morning all! This morning I am having an issue I have never had before and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I am making a cribbage board, designed in Vcarve. All the files work correctly except for the holes. When I try loading the Gcode file for the holes into openbuilds, it loads the cut out file instead. I have deleted, re-created, re-loaded the file many times. I don't understand what is going on. Thanks in advance for any and all insight

    I was going to say it was this (see pic) but then I spotted that there doesn't seem to be a toolpath for the profile cut?

    Or is it this - file extension UC instead of NC

    That was just an attempt at something different to try to get it to work. Original file saved is a pocket toolpath set to 8mm deep, 2.8 dia, using a 1/16 end mill, to multiple files. UC just stands for up cut

    It's difficult to see how this could be a problem with OB control. A long shot, but are you saving files in different places i.e. one on a flash drive, another on a laptop perhaps and you're selecting the wrong file source?
