How I can change the direction of a tangential toolpath start?

Post by figurenholz »

Hello, -sorry about my english- I hope you can understand ;o)

I will create a toolpath for a CNC plasma cutter in VCarve And there I will use a tangential start before the outline of the part.

in my attachement you can see my problem- the tartpoint of the square is correct- its out of the part but the start of the inner circle must be of the other side of my line- How I can change this?

Thank you, Ron

Ron,
Are you using two toolpaths: one for the square and one for the circle? If so, try just one toolpath and select both the circle and square for it.
