You can flip a cut path with the button labeled 'Flip Cut' in the cut path dialog.

wanted it on the line not to either side.

iwas trying to get two peices of trim the same out of one board and because cutpath only gives the option to be on one side or the other and not on the line it messed with the geometry a little had to mopve the circles on the bottom one up about an 1/8".
and if they did it it would simplify the command i.e. cut outside of pattern, cut inside of pattern, cut on line.
I would rout the path through the board instead of using a cut path and insert a few manual tabs, plus use 'drill thru' instead of cut path on the circles.
Maybe something like the attached sample?
Actually, 'drill thru' is probably not the best idea. The carve time would be 3x longer.

the drill through and looked at the time diff. i got it close enough for now but it would have been better to have the cutpath cut "on the line " option.
still requesting "on the line" cutpath option if your listening lhr.
Vector file support-
import of eps, raw and other vector file types
Fonts, shapes need to be vector paths so you can control size of, keeps file size down. Scaling of objects and fonts with out rez lost. Clean lines
Points and text can be aligned, Text can be flowed on to a path and around a shape(s).
Font can be broken apart and each line and point can be edited (make costume font shapes)
Wish list:
Give Designer the ability to accept free hand drawing like MS Paint.
Not sure if its been said yet, but I would like to see better pattern management. Meaning that I can drag and drop patterns into categories I want, while in designer. The current system is pretty tough, ie..I can't group new designs into the categories under "basic".

I was able to create a new category (right click on "Favorites" or one of its sub-categories and select "New"). This only works in the "Favorites" tree and its branches. To drag and drop between categories, the category must have at least 1 pattern in it. So if it is a new category, you need to import a pattern to that category before you can drag and drop to that category. A little cumbersome, but doable. You can't create new categories under the "Basic" tree (no menus pop when you right click). It would be nice to be able to create other categories on the same level as the Favorites and Basic categories, as well as being able to drag and drop into empty categories.
