I. Overview

This tutorial explains how to quickly add Microjoints to Pseudo Cutoff Lines after parts are joined.

After parts are joined, the cutoff lines between the two orange parts are referred to as Pseudo Cutoff Lines.

You can select a toolpath and check its properties in the lower-left panel. If the line is marked as Non-Cutoff, it indicates a Pseudo Cutoff Line.

II. How to Use

1. Version Requirements

(1) Version 7.1.45 and later: Supports batch adding Microjoints to Pseudo Cutoff Lines across all or selected nestings.

(2) Version 7.1.41 and earlier: Supports adding Microjoints only to Pseudo Cutoff Lines within a single nesting.

III. Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Add Microjoints to Pseudo Cutoff Lines in Selected / All Nestings

*This feature requires TubesT version 7.1.45 or later.

(1) Operation Steps

1. Click the drop-down arrow next to 【Microjoint】, then select Batch Set Microjoint.

2. Configure the parameters as follows: Select: check Pseudo cutoff, Apply Size: set to Apply to all, Apply to: set to All nestings or Selected

Configure Microjoint Position and Microjoint Params according to actual requirements. For detailed parameter descriptions, refer to 《Microjoint》.

Note:
When parts are joined, the tail part must remain connected to facilitate material pulling. Therefore, it is not recommended to use Smooth Microjoint, i.e., do not enable Root ratio. (Smooth Microjoints have lower strength and may cause parts to drop during cutting.)

2. Add Microjoints to Pseudo Cutoff Lines in a Single Nesting

(1) Operation Steps:

1. In the Select drop-down menu, click Advanced Selection.

2. Set the Type to Pseudo Cutoff.

3. Click the drop-down arrow next to the Microjoint icon and select Batch Set Microjoint.

Ensure that the parameters highlighted in the red box match those shown in the example below. Once configured, Microjoints will be batch-applied to the Pseudo Cutoff Lines of the current nesting!
