How to set leads away from zero in FabriCAM CAM (from this page)

The live page body is short; the on-page "Video Transcript" block is the step source. Raw auto-caption is not copied in full; no transcript invented. Cleaned steps from that live block:

  1. This Advanced CAM Configuration Settings part is about setting external lead in and lead out away from zero.
  2. Example from the live block: make a sheet 1000 by 1000, add a flat part about 400 by 400, and nest two.
  3. Open Configuration (top of the programme), then the CAM tab (fourth from the left on this live page).
  4. At the bottom of that CAM tab is the option already enabled in the demo: move external leads in and out / lead in and leads out of parts away from zero. Enable it there if it is not already on.
  5. Manually nest the parts. The live block says FabriCAM then automatically adjusts the external lead in and out away from zero.
  6. Recap: Configuration → CAM tab → enable move external leads away from zero, then nest. The live closer also names https://softwaretraining.co.za/ search (top right) and the on-site request-a-training-video form if a video is missing.
