This file has 2 pierce points that cut the good piece you will see in the picture. How do I move them back to the drop where all the other ones are? Not sure how this happened but I can not get them to change.
Thanks

Please post your file so we can have a look. It would also be helpful to know exactly what cam software you are using. Also more screen shots of the complete cut paths would be good.

Check those paths. I'm guessing you have a gap somewhere causing them to be open. If you are using SheetCam you can turn on the path end markers and it will show white dots where the paths end.

I loaded it into the software and got the same thing.

Perhaps you could post a screen shot showing the complete image. Also some shots of your settings pages. I expect some here with experience using Sheetcam will be able to help you out.

Re: Lead in and pierce point help
I have had these issue sin the past also, if I remember correctly it has always been an open path issue. I opened Davids file "shield linked.dxf" and saw no open paths, worked great.
Are you sure you were opening Davids file? It has a unique name from the original file so there should be no confusion on which one your opening unless you renamed the file when you downloaded it.
