Mark,

You need to set the sharing permissions on your google drive folder to " Anyone who has the link".

The font I used was "Script Mt Bold". When I use a v-carve toolpath on lettering I like to convert the text to vectors and do a little editing and trimming so the letters carve a little smoother.

Also, can the gadget be used for cutting a 3D toolpath (Project toolpath onto 3D model) or just for rounding?

Wow, Jim. At least for me, this is one the best gadgets you have done. Will the gadget generate the diagonal line for the toolpath?

As I mentioned in the video, using a flat bottom endmill will produce rigdes as shown in the pic. If the slope was completely flat then an endmill would be the best choice. Also, make sure you select the "Smooth" option instead of "Linear". The "Linear" option will produce a seam in the middle of th...

Here is a link to a short video on how I created the finger recess using the fluting toolpath.

As Michael has stated, it's just F4. As far as I know, it's always been that way.

You can also use the circular tabs from the clipart library and set the combined mode to subtract.

You have a pocket allowance of .05" set on the rough toolpath so it will leave .05" for the finishing toolpath to remove. This is taken from the help filel: Pocket Allowance This option is used to leave material on the inside of the pocket for the Profile Pass to clean-up. This is often very useful ...

Select everything that you want to resize and then click on the resize button (pic). Set the width and height or just set one of them and leave the "Link XY" button checked and everything selected will scale proportionately.

You can also accomplish the same thing using grid by setting the spacing to 1" and set the snap to grid on.

Your grid is on layer 1. Lock that layer so it cant be modified. Create another layer and make it active. Select the line drawing tool and, starting in the lower left corner, trace over your grid with a continuous line across the bottom, move up one line on your grid and continue the line across to ...
