Re: pause for manual check or adjustment

Well, these pockets are for a flange on a metal insert that should end up flush with the surface so I don't see how I can go from the bottom up.

Re: pause for manual check or adjustment

Hi Adrian, thank you for the reply. I am trying to place a grid of recessed pockets (1/16) deep into some MDF. The surface has almost that much variability. I would like to generate the g-code in Aspire, then edit it to place something like a 'pause' command (whatever sequence that might be) in the ...

pause for manual check or adjustment

Is there a way I can insert a pause at any point in an Aspire program that will pause the program so I can make a measurement or adjustment and then continue?

V 10 updates

I have been using V 10.022 since it was released. I was reviewing the What's New and the help ? options. I noticed that I do not have some of the options, like the use of multiple clearance tools.

question on raised letters

Can someone please direct me to a tutorial or good example of making 'raised' letters. Not exactly a prism, but where the letters are up, possibly flat on the top, but with a bit of a rollover edge and the background is down flat.
