How can I convert a PDF of the SO3 waste board to dfx

I would like to convert the PDF file of the waste board on the wiki to a dfx to get it cut on a commercial CNC machine.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I have F360, and Inkscape but have only just started to learn them. If they can’t do it is there anyone able to supply a dfx file I can use?

Can you get what you need from the downloads on this page? http://docs.carbide3d.com/tutorials/project-wasteboard/

Thanks Travis. I’ll check it out today and see if it has the actual wasteboard or if it is the code to drill work holding holes in an existing board.:+1:

The official / current wasteboard file is at: http://docs.carbide3d.com/support/#shapeoko

I would just open that in Inkscape delete everything which is not needed, then scale to the actual size, then export into a format Fusion 360 will import.

Thanks Will
I have just been re-reading Edwards book and decided to give that process,using Inkscape, a try today. It will be good practice and I was wondering if that would work or if I would finish with a dfx of the plan sheet…never thought to delete the unwanted bits (doh!).
Best I get all the house chores done ASAP if I want to have some “Me Time”
