New to plasma and having a problem with Sheetcam - What is the red line

Post by BRcreations »

Hi, can anyone help me with this? I can not figure out what I have done wrong. I thought that a red line was supposed to be the outline..

I'm guessing those are open paths. Did you get any errors?

I would suggest that you probably watch this youtube clip as it's around 20min long and will save a lot of typing to explain setting things up on layers and using the jet profile tool and selecting the layer for the operation.

Inside and outside offsets and cut direction etc etc....
