T1 and T2 not framing when i change to layer 1234 etc frame is working fine switch back to T1 and/or T2 framing not working on those.

Rubber band framing is working on the T1 and T2 (2nd frame button) Cut framing isnt (1st frame button) SO we can work around the problem at the moment i see :wink: Im running on 13.0.1

Just ran into this myself. I found that if I select everything and click “Cut selected objects” it frames as it’s supposed to. If I don’t do that however, I’m running into the same thing you are, T1 and T2 won’t frame and goes directly to the graphic itself and frames that. Hoping someone comes u…

Same question as Jimcoy. So the T1 and T2 colors are not intended to be used for framing? I thought that was the purpose of the T1 and T2 and how I’ve been using them…as framing tools. I never had to select “Cut selected graphics” in previous versions.

[image] berainlb: it does not affect the actual framing operation. I just ran the above screenshot and it does affect framing operation. on 1.2 it will frame T1 and on 1.3 it will not.

Well i’ll be staying on 1.2 for now if that’s the case. I program for a industrial plasma cutter every day with this function in other software. and it tells the operator exactly where to place the steel sheet on the bed.

Can you use a non-tool layer set to not output to accomplish the same thing?

Yes, but with more steps involved in the workflow. haven’t worked on that yet. that option was a godsend as it was. now it’s just a downgrade in my opinion.

Version 1.3.00 Tool path not framing?
