The reason I keep looking for other stuff to do is so I can put void crossing on the back burner...

Waiting for me then

I just posted on my spaceship thread. What I am seeing is I want to program sheet severing as I index full sheets on my half sheet table and I really think to do that properly, you need to have the void sensing so you can start in the middle and cut past the edge of the sheet on both sides.Currently I have to snap or cut off about 1-3mm of material left over from an edge start. I found if I tried a real edge start, I'd often miss the edge and not get a cut started.

And for Stefan's benefit, If you really want to see warped material while testing, disable Sheetcam's default nesting order which minimises thermal distortion and change the cut order of some small parts so it cuts in a logical grid. Left to right, up and down.

Bonus points if you cut out a square of material around the grid before you cut the grid of small parts. To do this, lock the square before laying out the small parts in sheetcam.
