cutting without outline cuts

[Marcel Thibodeau]

I have 48x96 sheets that I need to cut a series of slots in(for cement forms), the sheets must be kept to true size 48 x 96, but if I turn off outlines my slots end up in the wrong location(off by the amount removed in an outline cut).

Is it possible to cut the slots without doing a perimeter cut and have the slots in the correct location. its about 56 slots per sheet so I really don't want to draw it all over again.

In the Load screen you'll need to check the box for Scrap Part Recover, and in Nesting Parameters check the box for Nest to Edge of Sheet. That should put it right in the corner of your offset.

Thanks Clint, that worked a charm....what is scrap part recovery?

[Clint Buechlein]

Scrap Part Recovery's function is that I have a scrapped part I need to recut on a piece of material I've found laying around. I don't want it to nest with other parts, I don't want scrap cuts in my waste material, I don't want off fall, just cut my part out.
