@Madham I think you are asking about adding a “lead” to you cuts You simply have to provide a value in the “lead” box in the shape dialog box that pops up after you click the button. If the value is 0.00 then no lead in/out happens or if you have chosen Center Cut it deletes the Lead entirely ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/1X/0ef77c771142324d3d24210964ec9e149ba4f37b.png) ---
