Offsetting Open Paths for Rotary

Post by cloudy »

I'm trying to generate tube cuts for the Rotary plugin. I input flattened CAD, with the horizontal paths removed (So sheetcam doesn't generate a lengthwise cut)

This means the path is open. I've enabled offset open paths - but no matter which side I choose the cut is on the inner (wrong) side (and indeed the leadins are inside the intended part... Any ideas?

Move the start points to the other end of the lines. It should switch the cut side.
