Modified Torch Holder

I tried to download your dropbox file for YouTube and it didnt work for me.

could you post F3D file or upload it to fireshare.

From this display, you can see all the inside loops cut on the right side, but the outside loop is cutting on the left side.

When using left sideway compensation those red arrows do not relate to the final toolpath direction.

when using Center they do.

What they do show is if they are in the inside of a contour they on cut on that side of the line and if they are on the outside of the contour they will cut on the outside of the line. ( on odd shaped or smaller contours this may appear random)

I tried to explain it once on this post. In my example with the circle the red arrow does not corollate to final toolpath direction, yet the toolpath generates correctly for plasma.

Red Arrows in outer space Need help with Contour Selection

These red arrows are ridiculous. I can’t tell when it will cut inside or out because it puts the red arrow out in space, seemingly unrelated to the are I am trying to cut… Can you help me understand which of these is inside and which is outside, and how to tell the difference? [image] [image]

If you watch this live stream i just made . the toolpaths at the end confirm the proper toolpath direct rules even though i only used one click to select while using left compensation.

Cohesive Part Question

That F3D you linked appeared empty. But I made up a example of tracing a brake bracket picture using canvas in fusion 360 then worked that design through Fusion s CAM environment. [Brake Bracket new v2] [51vtV-msI2L.AC_SX425] Brake Bracket Example v2.f3d (230.9 KB)
