Arbitrary Sized Sheet Cutter: CP_SHEETCUTTERARBITRARY – CADPower Command

Key Features:

1. Cut Irregular Polygons into Two Parts

  • Splits multi-sided, arbitrary-shaped polygons into two pieces.
  • Ensures precise cutting with a user-defined gap for the cutting tool.

2. Customizable Cutting Parameters

  • Define the gap distance between cut sections for tool clearance.
  • Allows for manual or precise placement of cut points.

3. Automatic Part Numbering & Naming

  • Assigns custom part names to both split sections.
  • Automatically updates a CSV part-names output file for tracking and reporting.

4. Intelligent Layer and Labeling Controls

  • Assigns split polygons to a specified layer for better organization.
  • Option to delete the original polygon after the cut for a clean workflow.

5. Distance-Based Cut Precision

  • Users can specify the exact cut distance from a segment start point.
  • Ensures that cuts are aligned accurately to design specifications.

6. Search & Assign Polygon Names for Split Pieces

  • The tool automatically searches for predefined polygon names and assigns them to the cut sections.
  • Useful for automated material tracking and Bill of Materials (BOM) integration.

Ideal Applications

  • Sheet Metal & Fabrication: Cutting metal, polymer, or composite sheets of irregular shapes.
  • Manufacturing & Industrial Design: Creating custom-sized panels for machinery enclosures.
  • Construction & Interior Design: Splitting and shaping wood, acrylic, or glass panels for architectural applications.

Seamless CAD Platform Compatibility

The CP_SHEETCUTTERARBITRARY command is optimized for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander, making it a valuable tool for non-rectangular sheet-cutting operations.

This tool simplifies complex cutting workflows, improves accuracy, and minimizes material wastage.
