CREATING AN OPEN PATH CUT

Post by Cncburn »

When I import an .svg from Inkscape, I want to have the plasma cut an open path line. When I import the drawing, Sheetcam turns the line into a closed polygon. The result is a very narrow closed polygon, not just a single line. I have tried setting up an action point to turn off the cut on half of the loop, but editing action points while zoomed in always results in a program lockup on my computer. Is there another way to force an open path cut?
Thank you.

I Just figured out the issue. In my drawing, I cut out the lines. If the lines are just left on the top layer of the drawing, they remain open paths. If they are cut out they become closed paths.
