4.7 Edit Drawing
There will be times where the geometry on your drawing is not laid out in the best way possible
to create a tool path. In some instances, you might be missing a line in order to properly create a
tool path. In other cases, you might need to get rid of a line in order to create a proper tool path.
The ProtoTRAK Lathe DXF converter allows you to make simple edits to your drawing in order to
accommodate those situations.
Note:
These edits will not be saved onto your original drawing file.

The Add Line feature allows you to add a new line to your drawing by clicking two
existing end points.
To add a line using the Add Line feature, first select Add Line, then click on the ending
point from which you’d like
to start the line.
Note:
The Add Line feature will select the endpoint closest to where you click on the
line.
