Steps：

1. Select the drawing.

2. Click Menu【Path > Auto Path】.

3. Set the parameters.

4. Click OK button.

 

Parameters:

Offset

 

               on                              outside                       inside

On: The torch center axis is along the original drawing.

Outside: Cut along the outer contour of the drawing.

Inside: Cut along the inner contour of the drawing.

Width：The diameter of the cutting nozzle or flame.

Allowance: the area outside the Toolpath. Precision cutting can be achieved through setting side allowance

              allowance is 0                allowance is 2mm

Cut in/out is added in the start point of contour. If you want to change the position of Cut in/out on the contour, you can use “node edit” tool to set the new start point. 

       

                          Line                                                                       Arc

Uncut Length: the distance of cut-in and cut-out that can not be cut.  Generally this value should be greater than kerf width. But if the value is negative, it means over-cut length. Cut-out point will pass the end point of the contour.

   

   Short moving to cutting: use in the cutting of thick plate to reduce the hole piercing.

   Short distance: the maximum distance for short moving to cutting.

   

    Cutting Sequence:

        

            

                                  X First                                                     Y First

X/Y First: machine objects along X/Y axis direction first. 

Near First: the nearest object to the tool will be machined first.
