Howto ingnore holes where pierce won't fit

Post by Jolbas »

Is there a way to ignore holes where the kerf fits but the damage from piercing will destroy the part? Somtimes when the hole is shaped so that two pierces is necessary there is no way to control them separately.

About all you can do is move the troublesome outlines onto a different layer and not cut them. If you really want them cut you might be able to get away with cheating the kerf width. Define a tool with a small enough kerf to fit in them. Of course this will mean the holes come out over size but there isn't much you can do about that.

Ok. Thanks for the kerf width workaround. In this case I edited the drawing to remove the most narrow bottlenecks.
