Rout Tool
The Rout Tool allows a gure to be broken into a number of sections, each one with an
independently assignable bit or depth prole. Select the Rout Tool from the Tools toolbar, and then
select one of the gures on the board.

When selected, a gure will display as a solid white line, possibly with one or more green sectional vertices.
You may right-click on a portion of the line and select “Insert Vertex” from the context menu to insert a new
green sectional vertex, effectively breaking the gure into two parts. Each part may then be individually chosen
and assigned a bit or depth prole.
Figure 7�6� Rout Tool Context Menu
When a gure that has been sectioned with the Rout Tool it will display with one section a solid white line,
indicating that it is the currently chosen section, and the remaining sections with a dashed white line. Click on
any of the dashed sections to select it as the currently chosen section. Clicking the Select Bit or Select Depth
Prole buttons will affect only the currently chosen section.
Certain proles selected from the Depth Prole will insert their own sectional vertices for controlling the
midpoint of the carving cut or the start of a leaf. These, too, may be manipulated within the Rout Tool.
Possible Machine Damage
Never try to use a Rout to cut a piece out of a board. The piece can get caught by the
spinning bit and cause damage to the CarveWright/CompuCarve machine. Always use
the Cut Path option to avoid this type of damage.
