won't move

[aokweld101]

I made a pattern and I put them on two seperate boards and I want to put them on one board to save material but I can't get the pattern to move is there a magic button that allows the pattern to move?

You need to remove the constraints. For example, in the first .mpc remove the centering from the last circle in your cut list.

You cannot have centering and mirroring if you want the stuff to move.

thank you gentlemen, see there, there was a magic button...lol

I don't mean to hijack your project but, I approached it in a little different way. I started by drawing the layout lines and setting the angles to 22.5 degrees progressively (360 / 16) and centered them. Then I drew circles at the distance from the center where I wanted the cutouts/recesses. Next I drew the circles centered on the intersections. Using the offset tool, I drew concentric circles spaced 1/8" apart and assigned the 1/8" cutting bit with a .063" offset for the first circle. Then un-centered everything. This method will cut much faster.

Why would you not just use drill???

[SteveNelson46]

In retrospect, I guess I could have.

also on the .531 pocket holes i used the 1/16 carving bit and the holes are a little small for a 5/8 dowel rod....dowel rod I made 5.5 in.
