Yes. If you select “outside offset” in the jet cutting operation. The following will happen automatically:
-
it will assign inside contours an inside offset and place the lead in/out on the inside.
-
it will assign outside contours an outside offset and place lead in/outs on the outside.
-
it will assign open paths (lines that are not closed shapes) no offset(will cut directly on the line) and no lead in/out. This assumes that you have not clicked the boxes for “offset open paths” and “leadins on open paths”
Note: if you select “inside offset” it will reverse all of the above offsets.
When you import your drawing, it should show outside cuts in Red, inside cuts in Yellow and open paths in White. If those colors are correct on your drawing, selecting “outside offset” in the operation will automatically assign everything correctly.
I have been using Sheetcam for 3 years and I’ve only moved things to another layer twice due to problems with the drawing.
