Can i set cut paths manually?

Post by stuboy »

I would like to set my cut paths manually as i am V cutting and don't want the parts too fall out if i cut a little too deep.
Even with the cut bias all the way horizontal sheetcam is still cutting each square out separately. I would like it to cut all the horizontal lines first then cut the vertical lines, is there a way to achieve this?

Regards

Stuart

Put all of the horizontal lines in one layer and the vertical lines in another.

that's easier said than done as they are each individual squares, it would mean i have to effectively re draw each time and i have several different ones to do so not possible.

Any other ideas?

Odd looking layout for a bunch of squares.

There is nothing that you can do if they are all separate squares. If you run these a lot, I'd make the effort to just lay out the lines. They don't even need to be on separate layers, just a crosshatch pattern of lines.

(;-) How hard could that be there are ONLY 21 total lines and it could be drawn with 13 lines and a couple of trims.

The way you are laying it out will be be time consuming to cut. A lot of overlaping cuts.

BUT to each their own, (;-) TP
