Incorrect cutting order.

Post by shad »

Hi!
I try to make the program for plasma cutting the parts for ventilation .
The drawing .dxf was created in Fabrication CAMduct.
But when I make the Operations - SheetCam make incorrect order for cutting. The part has two inside cutting line with no offset and one contour line with outside offset. SheetCam make the order - first inside cut, second contour cut and last inside cut. How I can correct the cutting order? First all inside, last - contour.
Thanks!!!
I attached my drawing. I use the SheetCamTNG 6.014 version

You can use the contour tool (C button) to move objects to different layers. Then you can choose which layer you want to do first by making a different operation for each layer. You can even change the order of operations by dragging the operations in the operations window.

You can open the operation and select the cut rules tab, you might have "Shortest path" selected. I usually have "Minimise thermal distortion" and then click "Auto" and "Optimise now" in the Optimisation area also on the cut rules tab.
