    Default Help with vector pattern

    Two questions concerning the attached MPC. First, is there a way to rotate something like this so it can be cut on a 7" wide board? Also, the thickness is set to .250, I thought the minimum was .500? Thanks!

    You may have to clean this up a little. The thickness is .25 so a 1/16" bit can be used for finer detail on the cutouts. You will have to use a sled.

    Thanks Steve, unfortunately I can't use the dfx file and I have the old version software. Guess I really need to upgrade.

    You can use DXF with the old version of the software you just need to purchase the license. I use it with 1.187 and 2.07

    If I had DXF importer I would import it for you maybe someone who has it will import it into 1.87 mpc for you.

    I have included the version 3 .mpc (imported .dxf) in my original post. Give me a couple of minutes...
