I have multiple files with toolpaths and would like to combine them into one file without having to recreate the toolpaths, can this be done?
Thanks, Joe

Re: How to Combine Multiple files w/toolpaths into one
The only way you can do it is to save the toolpaths from each file as a template, create the new file, import the vectors from the original files and then import each of the toolpath templates. If you don't have automatic layer association set for each of the toolpaths before saving it though you're going to have to select the vectors again for each one. If you've got the associations set then it's just a matter of clicking the Recalculate All button.

Adrian,
How do you set the Automatic Layer Association?
