I have two Vcarve pro files that I am trying to route. They are for mazes. I am trying to make them from 1" MDF. The problem I am having is that they keep saying they are open vectors, when I do the “join” function, it does so in a completely unusable way. I am willing to paypal money to anyone who can make these cuttable for me. I have a deadline, and no time to fix them myself. I have already spent a few hours trying to get them to work.[ERPZ-141.crv](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/3/b/3b56b1c301f803327bae0ac507823f29dc1b012f.crv) (105.5 KB)[ERPZ-142-002 Body.crv](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/a/0/a02b2c160e702e6bad7e00a396b2cc623d371b24.crv) (28 KB) ---

Looking at it now, the problem with the maze is parts of the curves are duplicated so it is doing weirdness. I am trying to deconstruct it a bit to see if I an eliminate the overlap ---

I am not sure if this is what you needed but take a look [ERPZ-141.crv](https://cdck-file-uploads-canada1.s3.dualstack.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/9/0951438093202983855bbed835f6a36db1ef86ca.crv) (2.6 MB) ---

The squares were a bit harder. I made them individual squares but if you try to carve them at the same time they cancel each other out. So I broke them up to groups, not the most efficient carve as it doubles up You may want to redo it, but it is a starting point.

I was able to load it, and finally get a pocket to work. Thank you. Am I missing a setting to pocket the area shown in white, and not the area currently shown as being cut? ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/b/0b0089aca8d02417465bd1f12d9fe6554f7b40d3.PNG) ---

Disregard. I got it now thanks to learning how to use node edit.
