Use layers

If you want to perform more than one operation on your part then you will need to separate your drawing into layers. Each time you run a process in SheetCam the process is applied to everything on that layer. You can create your drawing using 'layers' in CAD programs and in 'most' drawing programs (check your CAD/drawing program documentation for more information).

Note: If your drawing is all on one layer you can use SheetCam to split different processes off onto their own layers. Use the 'Edit contour' window to move parts to a different layer by first selecting the 'Edit contour properties' button . Then click on a drawing section to select it and right-click to call up the 'Edit contour' window. Select either a new layer (and provide a unique name) or an existing layer to move the selection to.
