Title: Cut order
Post by: TimCobb on July 04, 2006, 09:12:16 PM
I was wondering is there was a way to change the cut order in LazyCam, I went back and watched the video of LazyCam in the vid section and Art said that could change them but didnt show an example.  I have some files that ( im guessing now) the orders that the chains was drawn that the order of cuts ia all over the place.  If I could change the order of the cuts then could reduce a lot of rapid time and reduce the overall cut time.

You can change the cut order of the layers in the Layer Dialog.
hope that helps

Brian is there a way to chage the order of the chains within a single layer.

Hi Psad

If you change the leadin/start point's, move them around  on your objects, you can change the order to some degree.

By moving the inside cut's away from the outside cut's this has allowed  some additional order to force the outside to be cut last.

It will be nice to allow setting cut order though.

Hope this helps, Chip
