Just got my table up and running , and super excited to start making parts. I am familiar with using CAD software and creating cut files, but totally out of my element with actually cutting them out my self. Just ran my first few test cuts and cant seem to figure out how to change cut path lead-ins. On my circles they are correct but on all other drop cuts the aren’t

Do yourself a favor and get SHEETCAM …- DXF into AD is a pain - limited control and you will pull your hair out and waste a lot of metal.

Sheetcam allows to you control every aspect of the cut - leadins for each part etc etc
It then spits out GCODE which is smaller in size then DXF so you can cut more complex designs

Thanks for the tips, will definitely be looking into sheet cam from what I’ve read using actual gcode seems to be the way to go.

Actually it’s really easy just go back into trace and choose the shape you want (it’ll turn red) and tap the Edit button. you can then flip the lead side

DXF import puts a global lead on things so every line gets the same treatment but usually there is one or two lines you need to flip
