Re: New member saying Hi .............. with many questions to follow!!!
One feature that I figure comes in real handy is Increment & Save (CTRL+ALT+S). It increments the current file name by one and saves it, while keeping you in the editor. XYZ.crv becomes XYZ_1.crv. I use it when I feel I'm about to make a major error.... often.

Re: Cutting Boards with Inlays
Well, you've darn well figured it out.... Those boards are fantastic. I'm still at the 'inlaid coaster' level. I'm definitely going to do more exploration of the technique. Thanks for showing us.

Save the Nickel job as a double sided job. Copy the outline of nickel to second side. Copy and paste the second side of original and use this 'second side outline' to align the two sides. Now, process as normal double sided job.

Re: stacked text not clean
If you use a clearance bit and a smaller bit, make sure you set the Z=0 in the EXACT SAME SPOT. The slightest variation will cause witness lines. I usually pick a spot that will not be milled near the clamps.
