DXF layer conventions
Understand the selectable geometry and labels in CutCAD per-sheet DXF exports.
Layer intent
Processing builds one DXF per nested sheet from the current placement result. Advanced include options control source or JoinCAD machining layers, part labels, sheet outline, and onion-skin tab information without replacing the real export geometry.
External part perimeters remain on CUT for compatibility. Geometry-detected full-depth internal openings export on CUT_INTERNAL. Blind pockets remain on depth-specific POCKET layers, while transferred CabCAD and JoinCAD machining keeps its semantic source layer.
| 3MF | Assemblies | Carries solids and ShopCAD source metadata between modules. |
|---|---|---|
| DXF | Nested sheets | CutCAD creates one manufacturing drawing for each generated sheet. |
| Readable reports | CutCAD creates a sheet-goods shop pack for saw projects and a dimensional-lumber cut list. |
