Lead in for the exterior of a piece (sheetcam) The lead ins I have for my interior cuts look fine, but my 3 pierce (the exterior of the part) does not show a lead in, the simulation shows it going to the edge of the part and piercing.
How do I get sheetcam to create a lead in for this?

Re: lead ins for part exterior help
Hi Ken,
I've had this a few times and it's usually when the outline is not one continuous closed loop. Instead it's broken so is made up of open lines (3 in your case).
If you click the tick box "leadins on open lines", you may then find you have 3 leadins on your outside path.
Answer is to repair the file in cad / Coreldraw.
