Hello, 
I am trying to separate 2 different types of cuts I want to set up with different parameters in the same g-code file. 

The shape 0 attached has pulled 4 lines that should be part of the different cut depth, so I am unable to edit their parameter independent of the outer contour. 11.png

I think the main issue is that the geometries are automatically reduced to 19 contours/shapes that I can't control which geometry is part of what shape. Is there a way to split this shape into additional shapes that I can edit the parameters independently? 

At the end of the day i would like to set different parameters for cut lines and crease line for 2 tools.

Thanks,

They are combined to one contour. You may put them on two layers in your dxf file.

 

Regards

Christian

Ok, thanks Chistian. 

For anyone pulling dxfs out of artios CAD, you may need to change the "tuning file" for the export to allow for multiple layers to be created in the dxf.
