Lead in and lead out behaviour control

Post by Handiandis »

Hi all

I typically use an arc for "lead in" and "lead out" with the length typically set to material thickness, which seems to work fairly well. However, I was wondering if there is anyway to control the radius of the arc please?
Thanks

Don't think there is, another one for a sharp corner is tangent, it's not that obvious really, I went a few years not realising! it runs straight onto the cut and off.

Arc leadins are always 90 degrees so you control the radius by changing the leadin size. Note SheetCam can reduce the size if it thinks the leadin won't fit.
