Rounded corners...

[saturnnights]

I can't figure out this one - I've loaded a simple Autocad 2000 file into Sheetcam. It has corners that when the toolpath is generated show up with soft, rounded points rather than sharp. These are outside, not inside, by the way. There has to be a setting I'm missing? I want clean, sharp points...

Thanks!

When SheetCAM does the offset, the toolpath will have rounded corners, withe the same radius as the tool. So when the tool goes around the corner, you'll end up with square corners on your part, but the tool doesn't have to stop in the corner, which can leave marks on your workpiece.

Thanks - I ran the job and found that you're exactly right!

Thanks!
