Hi, I have a weird problem where a single shape in a cut get’s completely ignored by makercam when calculating. I’ve deleted it, resized, from inkscape to makercam, shows up with the R missing on ground control as well. any ideas?? ![Screenshot%20(58)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/3/371c7089618b57fb24d5f0c0613539a9daf842f4.jpeg) ![Screenshot%20(59)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/7/7dfb295295415fc12037b4d1361b261491b96349.png) ---

I would suspect that it’s in the .svg. Grouped shapes or a similar thing. Can you share the .svg? ---

Sure thing, i’m pretty scrubby at doing all this, and coincidentally you were the user that i found helped with my last issue (gc getting picked up as a virus) i appreciate it!! > **[testcutlone.nc](https://www.dropbox.com/s/lx3drwsmz8h6m6t/testcutlone.nc?dl=0)** > > Shared with Dropbox ---

I can confirm the R is missing in the .nc file. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/8/834e7148e9738c3f58978f350f1dd5261b51d615.png) I suspect the issue in the .svg from inkscape. Can you upload that? ---

I have an idea, but its just a thought. The R was 0.006 in line thickness and the other shapes 0.005. Is the bottom of the A closer to the bottom of the R then the diameter of the cutting bit? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/a/a244130db64bb86e98863beb0aa366ea29572ded.png) How did you do the path in makercam? ---

i doubt it since my bit is .125, i basically told it to do a pocket and should have made a pocket in all the negative space but treated the R as the same negative space too… edit: i see what you mean, let me try changing that around a tad ---

How did you form the “R”? are you certain it is a closed loop? ---

Resizing didn’t work, I traced the R and clicked and moved each node to make sure it wasn’t open anywhere, but i suppose i need to just make another and see if that helps ---

Well i appreciate the help, i made a new one and this one seems to register correctly, i’ll let ya’ll know, but so far so good, seems it’ll be a mystery why it didn’t quite work out in the first place ---

1 step closer, it seems to be related how the parts are ‘stacked’ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/5/5887a4d5d83abe3822990351f4ef0322122facc1.png) ---

huh, yeah i kind of thought along those lines, in the new one i made, i used all the same stuff except the r, and deleted everything that had to do with it after cutting it to a new layer, then made a layer above that to remake the letter, and merged the new and orignal layers and deleted the ‘faulty’ R. i think this will work ![Screenshot%20(60)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/2X/3/3a45e5390b76fd5b22c50e526dd86d3d5ef4fd39.jpeg)
