Tabs from different sheets

Post by KHE » Wed Jul 27, 2022 1:40 pm

I have now done several cabinet projects using Qcad for my cnc toolpaths with excellent results. There is still one annoying result I don't seem to be able to solve. I have many parts in my drawing. To many to place on one sheet. I only have one sheet 49" x 49" that has 0,0 in the top right hand corner. I fill the sheet with as many parts as I can and call the layer 'Sheet' with sub layers, 001, 002, 003 etc. I turn off 001 and turn on 002 and place different parts. Same top right 0,0. Layer 001 has some tabs. Layer 002 has none. However the layer 001 tabs are still cutting on the 002 layer. How is this avoided?

Tabs are always exported, even on invisible layers.

This has been adjusted for the next version.
