When using deskam to create a path for a plasma machine, is there a way to set the direction of travel when cutting the 'island' different than the 'boundary". I have tried the 'reverse dir of selected' , but this leaves the entry cut in on the wrong side.
It seems that it changes the island to a boundary. Due to the characteristics of a plasma flame, the 'good' side is the right side of the flame when the torch is moving away from you.

You done everything half right it seems, if you change the direction of the contour you must also change the side of the line you are compensating to.

EG: If you were staying to the left of the line previously then after you reverse the direction of the entity you must now compensate to the right of the line.

Hope this helps.
