Title: Different tool on specific layers
Post by: corydoras on February 07, 2008, 09:25:03 AM

Mabye I am just plain stupid, but if I want to cut 2 chains/layers, example; a circle within a circle and want to use 2 different tools on this,I run in to a problem

If I choose a tool from the tooltable and set the depth and so on, and then mark the other chain to select the tool for this path, the first one changes to whatever tool I chose last.

in other words, I cannot get 2 different tools in the same project.

What settings have I got wrong?

Hello Cory,
I first make sure that the 2 chains are on different layers. The "Relayer" button does this for me.
Then select your tools from the "Layers" tab below. Don't click "Send to All layers" and they should stay put.
Good luck,
RC
