Utilizing Some Offalls
Once in a while we end up with an offall that's the right width, or right height, or the right width and height and we just want to dado and perhaps cut a toekick, or drill shelf pin holes. Anybody know of an easy way to shut off the outline trim without going to the parts editor.

You can try checking on the Control Nesting option No Outline Cuts in settings and then load your part and ensure you check on the Load Screen option Scrap Part Recovery and see if it will do what you are wanting. The Scrap Part Recovery option must be re-selected every time you visit the load screen. Don't forget to turn off the No Outline Cuts option when you are done! Hope this helps.

Re: Utilizing Some Offalls
Thanks for the reply Scott. I followed your directions and did an air cut. I didn't want to sacrifice the actual piece since it's an expensive veneer core, so I cut it on the tablesaw. The aircut indicated that it would cut the dadoes, but not the notch for the toekick, so it would partially work. Thanks

No problem. Yes, that would be the case because the toe notch is part of the outline. Have a nice weekend.Terry Hall wrote:Thanks for the reply Scott. I followed your directions and did an air cut.

You could also draw the part in another cad program and make the toe Notch a pocket cut then save it as a dxf file then load it and follow Scott's steps.
Yes! Oh Yes! I Think We Are Going to make It!
