Estalfos Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I am making some pattern that will be cut with a laser. This means that I have to plan the paths for the cuts by using vectors. I need to cut the whole edge of a piece (curvy) on a zig zag so the curves keep some stability once cut, but I can't finde a way to turn my smooth lines into zig zag ones.

v_kyr Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 There aren't other than default dashed lines, thus you have to create zigzag lines on your own. See therefor for example ...

firstdefence Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Or Use a grid set to the spacing of the zigzag you want, say 10mm so set the grid to 5mm and adjust the apex node to the height you want, now use power duplicate and select all of the zig's and zag's and join them. Save them as assets. Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
