How to adjust lead length by percentage 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 adjusting lead in and lead out length by a percentage value.
  2. Example from the live block: two squares already on the sheet. Zoom to a corner, open CAM so the current leads are visible, and move an external lead if needed so both parts show leads.
  3. Leave CAM, then open Configuration (top of the programme), then the CAM tab (fourth from the left on this live page).
  4. Activate calculation percentage in length-thickness. The live block notes external contours (top) and internal (bottom) are set separately; both can be enabled. Apply.
  5. Demo from the live block starts at 100%. Changing the percentage (example 50%) updates the lead lengths. Internal and external stay separate.
  6. Recap: Configuration → CAM tab → enable percentage length-thickness, then return to CAM to see the shorter or longer leads. 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.
