Hi All: I finally purchased a machine after lurking and drooling for over a year. First saw the Carvewright as a demo at the 2006 Kansas City Woodworking show. I haven't carved anything yet, trying to get used to the software. Not being an experiences CAD user I am slowly learning.
One question; I would like to use this machine to do, among other things, pattern cuts for grandfather clocks I make. I was playing with the software and using the spline tool to make some curved lines on a board for the decorative top of the clock. I can get the curves right and mirror the cut so it cuts all the way across the board but I can't get the cut path tool to show up so I can select the cut. I know it has to be a closed path and I guess this is what I am doind wrong but I am not sure how to accomplish that. I set one end of the cut at 0.00 thinking this would take it to the end of the board and the other mirrored end too, but it still does not work. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
