I have a subplate with burnouts within the pockets using x3 software. When chaining soilds to do 2d pockets how do I eliminate the bunout from the middle of the pocket so that it is just the outer profile?

Hopefully I explained this well enough.

Thanks for any help

Burnouts I assume flame-cut, not the car (hoon) type

I don't have X3,

If a 2D contour, use multi-pass and ramp, all depths ( very quick )
But, if you are doing a surface pocket operation and there is an area in the middle you dont need a toolpath, I suggest putting a small surface patch above the start depth, and select it as a check surface, another option is to "Trim Toolpath"

yes I ment flame cut areas.

Thanks for the reply
