I hope I stated that correctly in the subject line. What I am looking to do is create a new rule in Sheetcam that will only apply lead ins if the cut is a full/closed cut.
I have some straight line/open cuts on a salmon art piece and the beginning of the straight cuts have a lead in which does not look good and is not necessary.
Does anyone know how to do this or can point me in the right direction. I already did a lot of google searches and learned a lot of new stuff but not how to do this.
That’s what I do. Use layers and separate tool paths. For example, if I have holes to cut, I’ll put them in their own layer and define a tool path for that layer with a lead in appropriate to the size hole - usually a perpendicular lead in about 1/2 the size of the hole so it pierces near the center of the hole. For the other paths, I’ll set lead in as desired - arc or whatever makes most sense for a nice cut. For things like bend lines that are open paths - again - own layer and I specify no lead in. Don’t think there’s a way to do what you’re asking in a rule (someone on here may know of a way, but I don’t).
You guys kick butt! I will google “layers sheetcam” and get it done. If I can’t figure it out I will come back and expose my lack of skills some more and get
some free knowledge form you all
