How can I draw not Tapered (Untapered) parts?
To draw not Tapered parts you can take
advantage of the Cad feature included in devFoam.
Note: it You already have a file with the drawing of the
not tapered part, you can just cut it in this way:
Click the 'Cut
a new Tapered Part' link of the
Startup dialog if you already have the 2
vectorial (Dxf, Dwg, Dc1, Hpgl, Plt) or raster (Gif, Jpeg, Bmp, Png, Tif, Tga,
Pcx) files including the drawing/image of the 2 sides of the tapered part you
want to create/cut. If enabled you will see the
'Filter and optionally scale elements' dialog if you select a vectorial
file, or the
'AutoTrace elements' dialog if you select a raster file. Finally
you will se the
'Tapered Part management' dialog where you can create the right
cutting path. You can also see this page to have more info about the
'Available file formats'. To create/cut a new Tapered part you can
start from 2 different cases:
To start the Cad feature you can:
You will be prompted about the properties of the new Cad document, but you can just press OK to confirm the default settings.
Now you can start to draw....
If you are a Cad novice may be you want go to the first page of the help about Cad, see DevFoam - cad section online guide
The easiest way to create Parts to cut is to draw a closed Polyline , that will be automatically converted to a Part when you go to cut it. See also Special cad functions of devFoam to create Regions in a faster and simpler way
You can also create a region from the polyline and use the BOOLEAN functions for Regions, see BOOLEAN functions and Special cad functions of devFoam to apply BOOLEAN operations a faster and simpler way

We suggest to read well this CNC and dirty geometries. How can I clean them?
When you finished to draw the parts select them and use the Simple cutting or the Advanced cutting feature.
I suggest also to take a look at this page, to better understand some important concepts of devFoam: DevFoam FAQ and important concepts
