Tension trims in patterns with checkerboard sections

 

How tension trims work with CADmatic 4

 

Very often tension trims (if set) are only used in the rip direction of the board. With patterns with checkerboard sections the board is ripped along the short direction first and the tension trims need to apply to those cuts instead.

 

The tension trim values are taken from tension trim section (saw parameters).
