Identifying coincident nodes

You can instruct ArtCAM to check for coincident nodes in a selection of open vectors, within a specified distance of one another, and vector intersections.

To identify the coincident nodes in your vector artwork:

  1. Select Edit > Select or click the Select button.
  2. Select the vectors you want to check with the Vector Doctor.
  3. Select Vector > Doctor or click the Vector Doctor button. The Vector Doctor panel is displayed.
  4. In the Identify Problems area, select Coincident points.
  5. If you only want ArtCAM to recognize nodes in the selected vector within a specific distance of one another as coincident, specify the distance in the Tolerance box.
  6. Click Identify. ArtCAM marks all coincident nodes in an individual vector with a red icon. Any coincident nodes from different vectors are marked with a green icon.
  7. Select Edit > Node Editing or click the Node Editing button to manually fix any coincident nodes.
