Symptoms

In certain files, when using the snap to die feature, the bleed path is created in the wrong position.

Cause

When Pandora extracts the bleed path, it first determines the outermost path in a die station. To do so it first finds the left-most cut line and then finds the bottom-most end point on that line. However, for arcs Pandora does not take into consideration all points along an arc; it uses only the end points. This can cause the bleed path to be created in the wrong position.

Solution

Bisect arcs so there are two separate arcs, each with an end point in the center of the original arc. Pandora then uses this end point when creating the bleed path.
