Vector Sorting
A checkmark in the vector sorting box will order the sequence of vector cuts. If
sorting is enabled, you have two choices of how the vector lines will be sorted:
Optimize and Inside-Out. In Optimize mode, vectors will be cut in the most
efficient manner, and will generally vector the next closest line to the one just
finished. This is by far the most preferred method as it saves the most time, is the
most predictable and will create a continuous line path out lines that look
connected, but are actually discrete line segments in the artwork. The continuous
path of discrete lines is most often found in AutoCAD or other CAD programs.
Inside-Out mode will vector from the inside object first to the outside objects last.
As an example, if you have a small circle surrounded by a large circle, the small
circle will cut first. If sorting is not checked, the vectors will cut in the order in
which they are presented, which with most software applications will mean in the
order they were drawn.
