Draw a rectangle

First we will draw the box which will be used to generate the boundary cut:

Click on Draw Rectangle

Define the parameters for the rectangle:

• Anchor point: bottom left

• Bottom left corner X position: 10. This will position the bottom left corner 10mm away from the left edge of the stock.

• Bottom left corner Y position: 10. This will position the bottom left corner 10mm away from the bottom edge of the stock.

• Corner type: Radiused External, Radius value 10mm. This will round the corners.

• Width (X): 580. This will allow clearance of 10mm from the right edge of the minimum size stock.

• Height (Y): 380. This will allow clearance of 10mm from the top edge of the minimum size stock.

Confirm by clicking on the Create button. The rectangle will appear on the job screen.

Click on Draw Circle

Define the parameters for the circles:

• Center Point: offset from edges by 30mm in all 4 corners
