Looping outside corners

[TrinityFabworks]

Is there a way to loop outside corners in sheetcam? I can't figure it out for the life of me?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for

as shown in the picture in the post below you need to tick the radio / selection button that says "arcs"

What does it actually mean: Loop Sharp corners. Does it mean put a radius on them.

I think it is a outside loop so the corner is a sharp angle, the loop is outside the part cut material.

Are you looking to put radiuses on sharp corners? If so you can "fillet" the corners of the drawing in CAD. If that's the case, post up which CAD program you are using and maybe one of us can help you out.

No it means make them sharp corners by looping the torch path as shown in the image below.

If you want to create a radius on all of the corners (or some) what you can do is adjust your G64 tolerances if using Linuxcnc or UCCNC.... won't work for Mach3 ...... think it works for Mach4

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!

Thanks for the image and explaination robertspark. This helps. Ironken, I do know how to radius the corners in Inkscape, thanks for that help.
