Whatever, I'm just saying, the tool tip says "The amount of material that should be left by this operation in relation to the target shape" and that's NOT what it's doing. No additional material is being left. By specifying the "Allowance", your telling the cutter to go beyond what dimensions of the stock to take off everything. Very confusing. Again, the Clear Edges check box would be what I would expect for the desired behavior, or even have this as default behavior when used with Boundary shape: Stock.

You are correct , it is mislabelled and confusing. Gene was agreeing with you too.

OKay. I was thinking he was saying he was agreeing with me being confused and it was working correctly. :)

Sorry, I often quote just a tiny amount to make sure the poster is notified. The mini-quote was clearly misleading in this case. :oops:
