Well, after buying and running a boat load of files I have finally run into a stumbling block. I just purchased the style B dished Panda Bear relief along with the rope border design. I want to run the Panda within the rope border and then cut it out along the outside perimeter of the rope. I think I just set up the rope border file and then import in the Panda. Am I correct??
When I went to cutout the rope profile it cuts both inside and outside of the rope ruining the part.
Am I approaching this correctly?? I am not in the shop for the holidays so I am running blind right now.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and Happy Holidays to all forum members and support staff.

Tom if you run the rope border first and then use a start depth on your panda at the max depth of your rope.tgm wrote:Well, after buying and running a boat load of files I have finally run into a stumbling block.

i think that will work...
for example...max depth of the rope is .25...then the start depth of the panda is .25...
is that what your looking for?

Chuck,
If the max depth on the rope is .25 and I start the panda relief at that depth that takes care of the inside but how do I cut thru a 3/4" plate?? If I program the cutout of the rope at for a 3/4" depth won't that also screw up the inside path where the relief is?
I see no where that I can adjust the depths independently and the reliefs as you buy them do not come with an outline vector that could be used to create a seperate profiling path. That would be the ticket.
Am I all wet??
Thanks for the reply Chuck...

To cut out the outer perimeter of the rope just select the rope and offset inwards by .001tgm wrote:Chuck,

Then move the rope out of the way and delete the inner perimeter vector. now you have a vector that you can cut.
Hope thats what your wanting
The screenshots are in reverse...
