I'm not sure if i picked the right place for this, But i'm curious, there is a piece of software out that allows you to set a kerf width and nudge lines. to ensure you don't have your lines too thin during plasma cuts. I think Design Edge does this from Plasmacam but i'm wondering if there are any others that can do this as well?

Pretty sure SheetCAM does that also.
I use Inkscape exclusively for plasma, it does not do tool compensation, but since we almost always do decorations, just adding 2-3mm in X and Y does the job perfectly.

Design Edge from Plasmacam is a good option, but other software like SheetCAM and Fusion 360 can also handle this.
