Need improved explanation of "Re-cut" geometry option

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I'm finding it difficult to understand how to use the re-cut option. According to the current description it will "generate an extended cut over the first cut section". What exactly is the value specifying? Is it some kind of threshold for what flatcam considers a meeting of lines? Does it specify an overlay width that will be cut away? I have experimented with a few different values, but it looks like the same paths are being generated (just from looking at the plot area, I have not run the gcode on my CNC yet). I have noticed that this option produces very different results than the Passes isolation routing option, which seems to avoids intersections. Is Re-cut a bit like the opposite behavior?

Sorry, moved this issue to bitbucket
