G-codes
Absolute co-ordinates of arch centers
- (I, J) will be interpreted as absolute co-ordinates in
relation to the project's starting location. When off, relative addressing
will apply (in relation to the last location.
Sequence
tab
Shape within shape –
set the sequence of cutting of shapes consisting of smaller shapes inside
(e.g. letters
O
or
P
) .
Keep original sequence –
keep the sequence from the drawing
