tion.

If you have opened a drawing which has “inside-out” shapes,

MaxMotion can also correct them. Simply, select the shape/contour that

has wrong direction. (You will see the blue dots when you select a

shape. The offset of the shape will take place on the side of the dots.)

Now, pull down the Edit menu and select Reverse Path. The path will

be corrected and will be indicated by the shifting of the blue dots.

Fill Tool (Ctrl+Shift+F)

The fill tool is used to create route paths for your routing tool to follow.

To use the tool first select the contours you wish to fill, then under the

settings menu select Fill. Choose the cutter diameter and the mouse

pointer will turn to a paint brush. Click the paint brush inside any one

of the selected contours. The screen will give you a visual feed back as

the operation is taking place.

The original line of the shape is represented by a black line. The newly

created fill lines are represented by red lines going back and forth. The

fill can be horizontal or vertical. One or the other will show alternately

and it can be selected the same way for filling the objects.

Vertical Fill

The fill operations have been unique, accurate, and extremely useful to

the users. We have added another option to the fill routines. In addition

to the horizontal fill, a vertical fill routine is added. The end user

interface is intuitive and extremely easy to understand. Observe the

Tool Palette as you launch the application. The saw is the offset tool

and the paint brush is the fill tool. To the right of the paint brush tool,

note a box with red lines in it. The default red lines are horizontal.

Simply click inside the box with red lines and it will change from

horizontal to vertical lines. Whatever the fill pattern you see inside the

box will be the fill pattern used on the next fill command.

An important note: A user can always use a tool of choice to offset any

shape or shapes. When a fill command is issued, MaxMotion deter-
