Cutting On a Contour Line

[jburickJUFQ4]

Hello there!  This feels like it should be a simple solution but for the life of me I am having a hard time figuring out how to cut on a 2D contour line - I know how to cut inside or outside of the contour line by clicking the red arrow, but I have a situation where I would like to cut directly on it.  Thank you!

I'm assuming it would be adjusting "stock to leave?"

Under the "Passes" Tab in your 2D Contour go to the "Compensation Type" and set it to "Off", toolpath will then be on the selected edge/line etc, hope this helps 🙂 🙂

Or you could try using the "Trace" toolpath, it gives you Left/Center/Right Options for cutting, downside if you need "Tabs" then it doesn`t have them.
