I am having some problems with my cut file. the outside/inside cuts are fine. tabs are fine. my problem starts with my fold cuts. they plung,cut 1/4" then comes up, re plunges and cuts 1/4 inch. i have tried holding down shift and selecting the lines, that part works but when i create my cut file it does it again. please help

    Hello Victor,
    The fold tool attempts to take about 1/32" off the ends of the fold line to disconnect them from the rest of the part and then adds the depth of the cut. Not sure why your have this problem but it may just be a bug related to the way the design is laied out.
    You may want to try and separate/disconnect the ends of the lines yourself, and then apply a center line cut to them instead of the fold.
    Help this helps
    Mark and Trish

    brock_bencomo, if you can't solve it post here the part of the drawing that gives you the problems so that we can have a look at it and see what can be done. Post the .skp file.
