Optimize drawing for lasercutting

[Dubbeldrank]

Short question:
Is there a way to optimize the drawing for faster lasercutting?

Longer one:
When you draw a object and later change it, edit it, delete and add lines, the order in which the segments cut is the order in which you draw it. But that is not the most optimal order for a laser cutter. The laser moves all over the place, cutting or engraving first here and then there, which adds to the production time.
So: is there a way to optimize the order of the individual segments that make up the drawing?
Maybe within DeltaCAD, maybe an external (online) tool?

DeltaCad doesn't keep the order objects were created.
Your lasercutting software doesn't have an optimization feature?
What CAD format does your software use? DXF DWG JPG BMP

Can your lasercutter use G-Codes? There is a DeltaCad CAD to CAM macro in the Main "DeltaCad User's Group" website. >>  [ DeltaCad CAD to CAM ]

Yes, the Epilog job manager has an "optimize" option. But that does nog result in a very optimized cutting process.

I don't know about G-Codes compatibility. But I think that the order in which the elements of the drawing are structured, is the same order in which it is cut. If that order is "non-optimized", you will get a "non-optimized" G-code.
