Would it be possible to have the layers include a specific leadin/out spec.
For plasma work I always spec layer 0 for no offestting and use NO leadin/out
Layer 1 is for inside offsetting and always use leadin arc of .15 and NO leadout
Layer 2 is for outside offsetting and always use a .5 leadin arc AND .5 leadout arc.
Would this be feasible??
Thanks Terry Parker

Layer and leadin/out control
If you always use the same layers then load a drawing that has all 3
layers. Set up a cut on layer 0 with no offset. Now set up a cut on
layer 1 with inside offset and so on. You will now have three cut
operations listed on the left hand side. Save the job. Now when you
need to set up a new drawing, load the job and import your drawing into
it. The new drawing will replace the old drawing. If any layers are
missing, that cut will give a warning but you can ignore it.

Lead in/out
So, is it possible to set a different lead-out for a hole in plasma cutting, than the lead-in?
See, once the part is cut, it falls off, and leaves a big nothing, which leads to an error on my machine.
