    NEED HELP!
    Need to cut this with a plasma cutter.
    Why does the Gcode generator keep doing this?
    Its the same with "path inside", "path outside" only "no path" works. But i need to cut it inside.

    For now, set Lead In distance to 0mm.

    Please post the file and we'll investigate why the lead-in algorithm malfunctions on it. Go to file, export workspace (.obc) and upload the OBC file here

    Very good software, it's a pity that this problem of starting distance persists

    @calou and @Dennis Langhoff and @IanCaz , i've pushed some testing code that may help - sorting the lead-in paths offset vector to find the point closest to the actual starting point of the cut vector, and injecting that point directly in front. Give it some testing and let me know if it improved the situation for you.

    Remember to force-refresh your browser to get the latest code running (Ctrl+F5, Shift+F5)

    I always have to watch the starting distance of the pieces, when there are a lot of pieces, it's complicated, I didn't really understand the explanations above.
