Line only path instead of closed space path

Post by jazzkramer »

When you have some thin space to cut, Sheetcam decide that there is not enough space to cut into that thin
space and no path is created in that place.

Would be very nice if there was an option for that space to tell sheetcam, "just cut a line in the center of that thin space" instead of cutting nothing.

Thanks, bye.

That's actually really difficult to implement with the current offset code. I know of a way of doing it but that would involve rewriting the majority of SheetCam's path generation code.

Another problem with going down to a single line is that you would end up moving over that line twice. Plasma really doesn't like toing that.
