    Lead in help

    If you look at the attached screen shots and model, Sprutcan 8 for 2D contoring does not have a scrren for setting lead in and lead out for some reason. Instead you use you mouse to set the lead in and lead out.Attachment 200462

    If you look at the first and second screen shot, ou will see above the part a yellow circle with arrows. That is were the cutter will start. If you click on the arrows you can change the direction of the cut, climb vs conventional. WHat you want is the little dot See the last screen. By clicking on that dot you can drag the lead in further away from the part. You can give a radius, straight line etc. You will need to play with it to see what works for your project.
