When running simulations on just about any file I create, it seems that fusion makes the inside contours cut counterclockwise, where the outside contours always cut clockwise.
I’ve gone through some of my old files and they all cut clockwise, whether an inside contour or outside. Did something change along the way with fusion?
Example:
I make a square with a circle inside, extrude it, do the machine setup and then go into the cutting menu. While I can move the arrows generated either inside or outside the line, I cannot find how to change the direction of the cut. Inside cuts are always counterclockwise and outside final cut is always clockwise.
I am assuming that it is always best to cut clockwise with a plasma… just guessing though.
In the 2D profile menu there is the passes tab which has the option for sideways compensation. Sideways compensation for plasma cutting should be left 99% of the time this will keep your clockwise counterclockwise direction correct.
