Click on OK, the software will create new cutting paths, shown in white, which are the same distance from the
original all the way around (we set a large value here to help you easily distinguish the new cutting paths from
the original).
By default, outer contours are offset outwards and inner contours are offset inwards (refer to
Contour Type
for
more information) as the option Inner shrink, outer expand selected in the dialog.
There is a library where you can save kerf compensation settings for different materials with different
thicknesses. Click on one of the pulldown-lists of the option Common list and then select the item Edit.
There is just a single setting for 3mm stainless steel in the library now. You can add a new setting for another
thickness of stainless steel, e.g. 1mm, 5mm, 8mm, by clicking on Add at the bottom. And, you can add
compensation settings for another kind of material, e.g. mild steel, aluminum, copper, by clicking on Add
Group at the top.
