Allowance Offset for Profile Cuts Question

Post by sehast »

When making an outside Profile cut with a positive allowance offset the Preview function shows the corners being rounded when compared to the same profile cut without an offset. Is this true or just an error in Preview? If true is there anyway around this?

Make the vector bigger rather than using the offset allowance or set the sharp external corners options if you want to use the allowance.

Thanks, I knew there had to be a way, just couldn't find it. Makes me wonder why it is not set by default.
