PYTHA Workshop - Internal cutouts and Router Edges (PYTHA 23 & 24)

PYTHA Workshop - Internal cutouts and Router Edges (PYTHA 23 & 24)

If running PYTHA Workshop in older versions of PYTHA (prior to PYTHA 25), applying the  Router Edges function is necessary for the creation and export of all internal cutouts. It is not sufficient to boolean the cutout into the part - Router Edges MUST be applied so the tooling and cutout data will be exported for production.

To export an internal cutout:
  • Draw the cutout within your main part - this cutout may be drawn using a closed chain of edges, or removed from the part using Boolean > Difference   
           
  • Assign Workshop > Router Edges to the edges you have drawn or the edge of the booleaned hole
           
  • Once Router Edges is assigned your cutout edge will turn YELLOW
  • Your cutouts will be exported when you export your job through Export to CAM
