Can Plug Chair Sockets be Omitted

[Phil Chudley]

As I have a large stash of moulded chairs I was wondering if a template can be exported for laser cutting omitting the sockets for the plug chairs. I cannot see such an option.

I suspect I could modify the export file in Lightburn to remove the cut lines for the sockets, but just wondering if Templot could remove them.

All the best

Hi Phil,

To remove all the sockets from the export, on the layers tab set the sockets combos to blank, either for the FDM outline or the laser kerf sockets as required. You can select the blank option from the drop-down, or simply right-click on it:

The result is (for laser kerf):

To omit an individual socket from the export, you need to omit the corresponding chair. In the shove timbers function select the required timber. Then click the heave chairs... button. On the chair heaving dialog which appears, click omit chair for the relevant rail:

The result is (for an FDM timbering base):

cheers,

Martin.

Apologies for the later reply, but I was away for the weekend exhibiting at Ally Pally, London.

Many thanks for the feedback much appreciated.
