The location for the lead-in and lead-out is fixed, but can be changed by using the
ShapeWizard and then saving the new shape to disk.
Part Type
Indicate whether you want to cut the part as a separate piece or a hole in a larger part.
Chain cut options are available for simple shapes that have external cut paths.
Lead Type
Depending on the shape you select, the style of the lead in/ lead out can be selected as
radius, lock or straight line. The lock style lead-in creates greater stability for the part
and is only available if the part type is set to piece. Lead-in selection is only available if
the part type is set to piece or hole.
Note: Some shapes offer drop down fields to increase options with additional parameters.
