Cut or route a region???

[mgsundgaard]

Is there an easy way to rout a region? For example if I want to make a rectangle say 4 x 6 inches and 1/4 in. deep, I know I can make numerous parallel lines spaced a little less than the diameter of my plunge routing tool and I could accomplish what I want. This would be a lot faster than carving a region. But, if I want to make an oval, for instance, it takes a lot more work in designer, still possible though. I am surprised that there is no choice of cut or route a region like the carve a region button in designer

Just a thought -- how about repeated oval passes with a 1/2" bit,
4 ovals set at .250" should do it, with passes set at .125" each
I added the 5th oval just to show the measurement 6x4 inches.

MT showed the trick to do this with Corel Draw and the DXF Inporter.... Check out the Video Tips by MT on the DXF.
