172 MaxMotion for Machines
Offset
The Offset command is used to compensate for the cutter diameter. By
offsetting your contours you will maintain their exact size after it is cut.
To use the tool, first select the contours you wish to offset, then under
the settings menu select offset. Choose the cutter diameter. As you
click on the value of the tool diameter, watch the arrow tool change
to a saw tool. MaxMotion anticipates your next move and changes
the tool to be ready to offset. Now, all you need to do is to click with
the saw tool inside any one of the selected shapes and all the
selected shapes will be offset. The application provides you a visual
feedback while the contours are being worked on. You may visually
turn off the offset by clicking on the box to the right of the offset tool in
the tool box.
