White Lines

Post by seajinx »

Why is it, when i clean a file in Solid edge And bring it into sheet cam. The outer edge is white and not red as they are suppose to be. I can see some sections inside the file are red that IMO should be yellow. Do I need to convert anything to make the file product cut ready?

I think white is open lines. Thus the red one on the inside is not viewed as an internal contour but an external contour.

I don't know how to check a contour in SolidEdge, but I'll often bring a file into Coreldraw and I can easily check if the "curve" is open or closed and fix it if need be.

After looking and many files in SheetCam it seems that white lines signal that it is open (anywhere in the drawing) red is an outside line and yellow is an inside closed line. These were in drawing with only one layer. email Les to get the correct answer
