    Z level profile, order of operation?

    Using NX9.0 Zlevel profile to cut shapes is there a way to cut the profile last? Example: I need to cut a ring, NX cuts the outer profile first then the inner. I am cutting carbon fiber sheet tapped down and would like to get most of the cutting done as 1 sheet. Thanks, Steve.

    Use a trim boundary to cut the outer profile in one operation, then in a second operation change the trim boundary from outer to inner or vice versa to only cut the inner.

    Correct - you need 2 operations to do this. In Zlevel you can select the outside as cut area in one, and the inside as cut area in the other.

    Thank you, will try that.
