Reduce nodes
Information Use this function to simplify curves. How it works
fillet curves
Information Use this function to fillet curve or node. There is 5 methods how to fillet curve – select one You need. Use ‘force’ options when there are many nodes in corners… But be careful – there can be errors in some cases.. This feature is also available from CAD functions window. How it works
Connect opened paths
Information Use this function to link opened curves. Very useful to fix importing errors from CAD software. Before processing you have to combine paths into one curve. How it works
Make center line
Information The main task of this function is making central line of selected object. eCut has two methods of making central line. Each result you can see further… How it works
Slice object
Information New SLICE function allows user to slice objects, three methods are available: 1. simple grid 2. slice using gidelines 3. manual mode (set overlap < 0 to have slot in shape) How it works
Create carrier (boundbox)
Information Use this function to create bound box for each selected shapes with specified gap. And can remove overlaps How it works
Clever divide
Information This function divide curve to subcurves, but inside lines stays with outsides for each separate curve. Very useful function to divide curve and nest it for CNC. Warning! Curves must have no self-intersections. How it works
Create SignBox
Information Function for creating signboxes from composite panels. Many methods of signbox creation Additional features
Create Draft
Information Very useful function. Allow to create schema of selected objects on A4 paper. Also can show size and scale. One or two images can be placed at same page.
Create grid
Information Little function to create grid, that can be cutted on plotter or CNC. How it works
Create lines
Information Simple function that create lines. There is 3 methods: Snake Grid lines How it works
Vector Effects
Information Now eCut has vector effects function, and all objects after process will be ready for cutting!!! Circle fill Puzzle Shadow on the wall Shadow on the floor Extrude Contour Clever trim Slice Corners Random copy Fit along path
Eyelets
Information Very easy, simple and powerful eyelets creator.
Edge roll
Information Use this function to create edge roll. Main usage is to create stencil for ALS or similar. Edge roll w/wo material thickness. Edge roll with flange. Edge roll with notches. This feature will help you to save time when producing channel letters. This method create notches on edge in bending points. Then you have Read more about Edge roll[…]
