i used a web app to generate the base for this https://o2creative.co.nz/laser/ , then i changed min power to 100% to try to cut the corners…
but all the squares cut at basically 100%, so it seems like power scale doesn’t get applied or min is overriding?

‘Power Scale’ works as a range within the Min and Max power set for that layer. If you set both to 100% there is no range between these 2 settings. For Power Scale to work, you need to set a different min than max, power scale will provide scaling the power between these 2 numbers.
Said another way…
Power Scale acts as a sort of ‘slider’ between Min Power and Max Power. With a Power Scale of 100%, the output will be the Max Power setting. With a Power Scale of 0%, the output will be Min Power. 50% Power Scale will output 50% between Min Power and Max Power.
Note that this is all still subject to the rules regarding Start Speed and Min Power - If your speed is set at or below the Start Speed setting in the controller, you’ll only get Min Power.

ok thats what i though it might be, so how do i adjust corner cutting to use a scaled value from what i read about min power it was used in low speed and corner cutting ? in the power test squares the corners on cuts that are slightly less power dont succeed in cutting whereas the rest does.

The information is here on the forum…
From: RDWorks Wiki - Min/Max Power (cutting)
As well as the Min and Max power settings and the speed set for the layer, the Start Speed found in the Cut parameters section of the User Settings comes into consideration.
At speeds of Start Speed and below, only the Min power is used.
Above the Start Speed, the power is increased linearly until the Max power is acheived at the layer speed.
When using layer speeds at or below the Start Speed, there is often confusion if the Min and Max po…
If you need to generate a power test that uses the same power value for everything, you’ll have to do it the old fashioned way, one layer per square.
