I havea DXF that I’m cutting with multiple passes (50) and I’ve tried importing it just native (from Fusion 360), to SVG, grouped, ungrouped. When it runs, it runs through all passes of a single line segment before going on to the next. How do I get it to pass over all the lines and then do the 2nd pass, ect.
any thoughts of what’s going on here?
That’s just how it works. The machine completes each step in order. Each step is told to repeat itself 50x. It’s doing exactly what you’ve told it to do.
The way to make it do what you actually want is to redesign the whole piece to cut all at once and then repeat that 50x, or create every step 50x and put them all in correct order.
Agreed, it’s functioning as designed. The workarounds presented would give you the desired behavior, but it’s possible that many steps would break things.
I’d be really curious to know why you need 50 passes. That seems extreme. I have rarely used 2…
When I was silly enough to try and cut half inch wood, I discovered that every cut was a bit less successful than the one before. I probably might have done 50 passes and not cut through. What I found was more of the energy heated the sides of the cut the deeper I went.
