F-Engrave V1.30 (Auto Loop Flipping)

determine loop sides

F-Engrave now can determine which side of the loops in a DXF design need to be cut.  Previously the input needed to be formatted so that the loops in the design were clockwise or counter clockwise to determine whether the inside or outside of the loop was cut.  Most programs that export DXF files do not do this automatically.   Some hard core F-Engrave users took the time to manually flip the loop directions as needed in Inkscape to get there designs to work with F-Engrave.  My hat is off to those users!  This release goes out to you guys.  Kick back and relax while F-Engrave does the work for you now.  The calculations are so fast for small designs you may not even notice the message telling you that the side to cut are being determined.

In addition there is a new “V-Carve Accuracy” setting.  This new setting can be used to ignore small features in a design.  This is especially useful for small DXF design imperfections which result in bad v-carve tool paths.
