When applying bridging you will sometimes be prompted for the overlap required.
At this time, a negative Bridge Overlap (to leave parts joined together) is not supported.
For plasma cutting, you can specify quite a large overlap to force the cut to cross over itself; however for flame cutting this would likely result in loss of flame as the combustion will extinguish crossing a kerf gap, so a small (less than kerf width) overlap is instead recommended.
In the below examples a 5mm overlap has been use. Note "trapezoidal" overlapping bridges are created where the overlapped bridge would run over the original part geometry (as in the two rightmost examples), while if the overlap does not go near part geometry simple extension is used, as in the left example. Note also that in creating the spine bridge for the middle example, an area layer was automatically created, as you can tell by the altered part fill color.
