I am now able to cut keyholes so thanks to those that helped this noob. Now my trick is to use my 1/8 upcut to cut out my letter plaque. Once that’s done I need to complete a tool change and cut the keyholes in each piece. I tried the rough and detail approach but kept just getting one tool path?? Ideas on how to proceed?

assuming Easel, create them as separate workpieces to force one path cut with one bit, and the next with the other. you’ll lose the combined preview so be aware of that.

If you’re using easel, it’s two seperate jobs. Not only would you have to change the bit, you have to unclamp the project, flip it and re clamp. Easier to just have it as a seperate projects in easel.
