The higher the length value, the less resolution your part will achieve. This will determine the efficiency and precision of your contours.
		+
		+	*The '''Max Angle:''' field is where you will set the maximum '''inside''' angle between polyline segments that will be converted to a single line. If the angle between two connecting line segments is a lesser angle than the max angle value entered, the connecting lines will not convert. The higher the angle, the less resolution your part will achieve. This will determine the efficiency and precision of your contours.

		+
		+	*The '''End Profile''' colors are set to dark blue and light blue by default. Dark blue indicates the inner contour of the end profile while the light blue indicates the outer contour of the end profile.
		+
		+	*The '''Holes''' colors are set to teal and cyan by default. Teal indicates the inner contour of the hole while the cyan indicates the outer contour of the hole.

		+
		+	==Misc Options==
		+	[[File:Misc_Options_IND(1).png]]
		+
		+	*Check the '''Normal Cuts (Perpendicular Cutting)''' check box and your cuts will be converted to become located at the perp of the bend it is assigned to.
		+
		+	*Check the '''Auto-Tack Cut Profiles''' check box and your cut profiles will automatically be tracked when a new part is imported.
		+
		+	*The '''Default Stock Length:''' field is where you will enter a value (in inches or millimeters: depending on your setup) for your default stock length of tubing as it appears when you open a nesting project.
		+
		+	*The '''Default Web Size:''' field is where you will enter a value (in inches or millimeters: depending on your setup) for your default web size between cuts when creating a nesting project.
