    I've got some curves and when I do a centerline on them some of them cut in tiny sections but backwards. So instead of the cutter going through the segments like ABCDEF smoothly, it runs BA, CB, DC with a lot of up and down.

    How to correct this? How to avoid this problem?

    What version are you running?
    SketchUcam 1.4b solves this in most cases.
    When it does not (there are some complicated cases where it cannot detect the cut reversals)
    you can either:
    • create a small split in the line where the reversal begins and ends. a split 0.003" wide is enough.
    • use the BZ Tools plugin to 'create polyline' on the line before setting it as centerline cut, this re-orders the internal line ends so that they are all in order.
