Seems a bit bizarre treating oversizing and angle cutoffs the same but not to worry, as long as I know I can work round it.

Dean,
This is correct. Oversizing will need to be added manually in VCarve or OptiNest if it is turned off.

I see… So I think the options are
1) Have oversizing on… This unfortuntely also squares off angle/non rectangular shapes for optimising, wasting that material.
2) Turn oversizing off… Cuts become more material efficient, however manual oversizing would need to be done on Optinest or vCarve.
Do I have the right of it?

Hi Dean,
The oversizing is always referenced from the Overall Panel, thus you do get the overall panel on your components now on the import to OptiNest.
If you want to turn this off reference the video I sent to you below, on the 6th March, and do the opposite process to how we turned these on.
Let me know how this goes,

Hi Isaac,#
Hope you are well.. Since making these changes it appears that the OVERSIZING is being optimised even on angled panels. This isnt actually oversizing, and I would like these shapes to optimise again. Seems there is always a trade off. Can this be switched off as it is quite a waste of material. Please see below;

Ok,
Well this oversizing has generated an issue. It seems to be duplicating vectors on top of each other within vCarve on the same layer. Any chance someone could call tomorrow so I could show you?
As I didnt see the stacked vectors within a layer, I destroyed most of a board today as it double cut it.

Hi Dean,
There is no way to swap these, the oversizing is the Panel layer.
The 0 layer, this is nothing, a non-existent layer. This can be ignored or deleted.
