Hi I am making some plywood furniture and I need the parts to have a perforated edge to be punched out of the stock sheet at a later date. I would prefer NOT to model all of the holes that this would require.
Does anyone know a good way to program in perforations into a 2.5 axis profile cut, like a dashed line? I tried using dashed linetype in rhino but to no avail. Maybe something with the engraving setting?
In other words, a line like this instead of a solid cut line

Got it? I hope I am being clear, and no, just leaving a little material below the cut doesnt help, it needs to look intentional.
Thanks any help is greatly appreciated, and feel free to suggest any other ideas or methods
