Minimum spacing

Specifies the minimum distance between two automatically created knives offset at the same angle.

Maximum spacing

Specifies the maximum distance between two automatically created knives offset at the same angle.

Choose sizes for best coverage (recommended)

If this option is checked, on long straight sections where multiple knives must be used, then Impact will choose knife sizes such that the best coverage (pushing knives to the ends) is achieved.

Otherwise, Impact will fall back to an older method of choosing sizes, which may result in better symmetry at the expense of coverage.

Arcs

  • Ignore - any non-straight edges will not be contoured. 
  • Approximate using lines - non-straight edges will be contoured using lines, placed automatically to be within the standard-minimum offset range at all times (there is no ‘conversion factor’).
  • Allow - Specifies that arcs (which may be generated for contour/slots with non-straight edges) may be placed as male knives. If so, a Minimum arc radius may be specified.
