Quick RDWorks question

[Jeff Body]

Is there a way to have a single vector do 2 passes automatically?

I know I could duplicate the vector in another color and do it that way but to me that clutters the job.
I'd like to do 2 passes with just 1 vector.

Thanks

You can copy and paste it right over the top of the first one. It does not need to be a different color. It won't clutter the job at all.

I didn't even thing of that.

2 objects the same color will cut 2 times.

You're a Genius.

I cut 2 passes by copy and paste on top of one another. Some times I will use different colors to change speed and power like when I am using a masking material on acrylic.

Or...you could just simply press start again on the laser :) I do that all the time. I set the power/speed to default (local panel). Adjust locally and run it twice if I wish.


I frequently send two jobs. One for the scans/dots, etc. And the final one does the cutting. Handy way to do things in case your power wasn't quite enough to cut. You simply run the cut job a second time since it won't include any scan/dot objects.
