Thanks

click on the sword in the mpc and then put a merge style of subtractive. The sword will then show nicely.

Have a new question. I have combined a items, but the Sword is to deep. How can I make it more shadow.
Here is the MPC.

Thanks

Select the pattern and adjust the height from 100 to 50, 40, 30 until you get it where you want. Being a subtractive merge, you adjust the height to a lower number and it raises it in the carving

would this be what your looking for

Thanks Henry1 and Chief that is just what I needed.

LeoLeo, I'm building an AVI lesson as I type this reply. I'll post it shortly. You will be able to see how I reverse engineered the MPC, as I did the changes. Without a series of Q&A sessions, or a quick phone call to get in Leo's mind-set, this is my best guess.

OK,
Here is the link to my 158 MB AVI Lesson titled "Modify the K of C MPC".

LeoLeo,
I have a lesson titled "Rotating a Large Sign Design" and another titled "Rotate a connected Line Figure" in my "Download" link below.
However, in your case I think I have a much better solution!

Since your Design is 10 by 10 inches, I'll bet your actual board may be that size as well (not counting your extra 7 inches).
Without changing your MPC, we can prepare/make the actual board to a 10 by 10 square using other shop equipment.
Once this is done, we can make a set of rails about 18 inches long.
Attach the rails to your actual board, making sure to rotate the board 90 degrees and centered as you do this task.
When you load the piece in to the machine, you'll get resizing and placement prompts (Scale=NO, Placement=Centered).

This option will save you lots of consternation as to rotation of your original design. In future designs, consider the "Grain" as you do your engineering.

I have already tried the process in your Link it would not create a pattern.

LeoI knew this MPC would be a bear (the process does work, it just takes lots of effort on this one)! That is why I gave you an alternate suggestion.
