Spotting function integrated into the "Jet Cut" function

[goglie]

Hello,
First of all thank you for this wonderful program which is very well done and very practical.
I use it in a professional setting with Linuxcnc (QtPlasmac).
I am having some issues with using spotting. After reading several forums,
I used the "Drilling" function in order to be able to score on my parts.
This trick works for a single part but is not suitable for cutting nested parts because,
the pointing of the parts is done on all the parts before the cutting of all the contours and the dilation poses problems of precision.

The ideal would be to score each part just before cutting the contours (such as the holes or opening in the part of the "Jet Cut" function).
I tried to correct this problem via the post-processor, the rules or the options but I did not find a solution.

Therefore, I come back to you to find out if there is an alternative.

In order to make my request constructive and suggest a potential solution,
Would it be possible to add a "SPOTTING" function directly in "Jet Cut" with a minimum diameter as a trigger (if the hole is less than X it is treated as Spotting)
and add an OnSpotting() function in the post processor.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

First, if you are nesting your parts in the drawing right-click on the part name and select 'break up manually nested drawing'. That splits your drawing into individual parts.

Go to Options->job options->nesting and select 'Keep parts together'. Each part will now be fully cut before it cuts the next.
