Crossing cut rule

[SeanP]

I was just seeing if the new rule 'when crossing a cut' would work for this job.

I'm trying to find a way of adding a notch where the bend lines are, it's messy drawing a small notch in the drawing and they tend to not show up well cutting at speed, so I thought I'll add a 3mm dia hole right on the line, cut those first and then do the outer cut.

I was hoping the new rule would turn off thc as it crosses the 3mm hole, doesn't look like it's going to work as dropping the feed rate on a rule would show blue.

Any other ideas what I could try to turn off thc as it crosses? I'll try it anyway maybe I might just get away with it with thc still on.

Ah not to worry, I'll just use action points, that should do it with not much bother.

That should have worked. Could you send me the job file.

I see the problem. The circles are on a different part. Currently the crosssing a cut rule does not work between parts. If you can put those circles onthe same part they should work. Just put them on a different layer.

Thanks for looking at that, I see now, was just looking for a easy way out without having to add them to the drawing.
I haven't tried it yet but I doubt if thc would dive going over the circle gap, if it does a action point should do the trick.
