Enabling Straighten cuts on boundaries avoids rolling effects when the machining surface is wider than the drive curve or when cuts are in the shadow of a hole or the construction of the machining surface. The setting mimics the Extend edge curve option available for other cut types and reduces wrinkling or rippling to produce a more uniform pattern across the extents of the selected geometry.
