Drainer Grooves Tool

Use the Drainer Grooves Tool to draw the grooves of a draining board routed into a worktop beside the sink: parallel grooves, evenly spaced, stopping short of the ends of the area.

Usage

1. Choose which way they are Running (along the area's X or its Y).
2. Fill in the number of Grooves, their Pitch (centre to centre), the Groove width (0 draws each groove's centre line, for a V or ball-nosed cutter; a width draws a slot with round ends) and the End margin.
3. Choose the Layer (the routing or engraving layer; the Dimension layer by default).
4. Click^* a corner of the draining area, then the opposite corner.

The grooves are centred across the area. Their sizes are variables (GRVN1, GRVP1, GRVW1, GRVE1) and the grooves a block on them and the corners.
