Is there a way to reverse cut order?

Post by tubetorcher »

I am looking for a way to automatically reverse the start order of cuts without having to manually use Quick Cut Sequence.

If not in Sheetcam, is there a way to use post processing to reverse the order?

I ask, because I have several hundred cut files that I also need to have upside down versions of, and my plasma cutter requires that I cut from bottom to top. I can rotate the part 180 degrees, but I would like to not have to resequence all of the cuts

Mirroring X and Y doesn't change the order of cuts on my part.

If everything is nested in one drawing edit your cut operation and go to the 'cut path tab'. Set the start position in the opposite side. If you have a number of drawings nested in SheetCam you may also have to definine a tool change position at the opposite end of the sheet.
