Should you wish to first cut all the lines in a drawing first and then all the elements of a given
shape:
•
cut only the lines, no outlines, and deactivate “All elements of a shape”,
•
cut the outlines with “All elements of a shape” activated
Overlapping shapes algorithms
Overlapping shapes algorithms
You can have all overlapping lines deleted when loading a drawing in MegaCut by selecting
“Delete overlapping lines” in the settings. For a shape to be considered an overlapping one and
deleted, it has to have the exact same number of nodes with the exact same values for each node.
They need to have the starting and ending nodes in the same spots.
Note that if the
Connect the nodes
feature is on, the software will connect all the nodes prior to
attempting the overlapping lines deleting. This means all open shapes will turn into closed ones and
as a result they will not be deleted. This may result in certain shapes to be cut twice. To avoid this,
turn off the nodes linking procedure or delete all overlapping lines back in your graphics software.
