Sorry Clint,

I was replying to many posts that day and I worded my reply very poorly... http://forum.carvewright.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

What I meant was, I use lines like a tape measure...

Clint,
Why not just use the length box or the dimension that's on the line itself? Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

But that merge negative is on the connected lines, not the slope. Perhaps that's why I can't reproduce the error. I was only working with the slope. I have to get my butt painting some signs and...

Just for kicks Bud, try making a new project file.

I can't seem to reproduce that error no matter what I do to the slope. I can merge it + or -, Clip it exclusive or inclusive. All the same...

Hey Bud,

That's really odd. I get the same error and it would seem to have something to do with the way the slope pattern is used in conjunction with the other elements. When I delete both slopes...

Bud,

Yep that's a way to do the math. An easier way (for me..lol) is to just draw a 20 degree line from the left end of a 1" horizontal line and then connect the two with a vertical line.
...

I have to admit that I too was confused by your question when I read it last night Bud. A Dome by it's very definition is an arc.

When I got up this morning I was thinking about your statement...

I agree Eva. In fact, I've been wanting and suggesting a BIOS added to the CW since 07. Not so much for stopping it but for when the inevitable power failure happens. A battery powered bios (like...

Terry,

Sorry....down in the shop convincing myself that the cut motor was my problem with 1.130. It was and I'm now 100% convinced.

The movable blocks in the sled run in slots. The side...

I like using my perimeter sleds. It allows for any carving, one sided or two, allows for using the cut path no problem and the one shown (36") will allow carvings in any length from 1/2" to 36" long...

That's pretty cool Ken. I didn't take the time to perfect the shape but with the addition of a couple merged regions and opposite surfaces, you can add a twist over the length like a prop blade.

Well, according to the dimensions in your file, it will be 12.977" Wide by 12.328" Tall. With the cut path on the outside like you have it, It should finish within roughly .008 of those numbers.

You're welcome Mike,

But, You don't have to buy a book for dummies, it's already being written in this forum every time a question gets answered and the best part is ..... it's FREE...

Hi jwhllh55,

Well, actually it does (sort of..lol). Maybe you know this already but, for precise placing of things I use the coordinates at the bottom left of Designer's window. When used in...

OK, I guess I'll throw a "few" of my wishes in the mix. Sorry if some are repeats but the thread is getting long so this will just serve to consolidate them if so.

Designer Additions:

Consider it done Tim.

Right now I have to go meet with Al and Chisel Me Timbers down the road from me. Will post the idea as soon as I get back. Or, of course, you're welcome to and thanks for...

I also use Tim's organizer and it's simply great!! Sorry I neglected to mention that Tim.

One of the best things about it is you can work with separate MPN files. I have the one that Designer...

Actually, that's not quite true. I thought the same thing at first but then I learned.

When you drag a pattern into a folder that contains none yet, watch the little red line as you drag it. If...

Jeff, yep, I had that thought (packing it myself) as I left the place. I didn't know you could go on-line and buy the shipping label though...sigh...live and learn. Now I'll insist on refunding a...

Hey Rob,

No 1 x 12's but the guy at the UPS store insisted on a 15 x 15 box for it. He had a 10 x 10 but since the project was 8" he refused to ship it saying it would only have 1" of packing...

WOW!..... I mean GEE!.... I mean COOL!!!.... LOL I'm honored!

I'd love the trophy Mel but I think I already paid my dues. After all the excitement of finishing, I Paid...hold onto your hat......

John,

I had the same issue with stepping once. Turned out to be a torn belt on mine but the other cause is too little head pressure. If you have the Ole bathroom scale, check yours. should hover...

If you have "separate" carvings on a board and one or more is done but you need to finish others just make a copy of the project and remove the finished ones and leave the one(s) needed. I've done...

Probably just something they never considered thinking we'd set the board size ahead of time. Like us, I'm sure they're aware of many changes they need to make to the software. Perhaps once they do,...

Hey Tim,

This used to REALLY bug me too but I've found that if you tag all your items to the left side of the board only, you can resize the board without them turning into a jumbled mess. It...
