as requested on support…
Given a DXF which imports as:
We first go to Job Setup:
and adjust things so that they can be re-sized in terms of millimeters instead of inches:
and we re-size the geometry to the correct size:
Done
and group it and align it to the stock:
The very fine grid is potentially confusing:
So we set it to a reasonable size:
and Ungroup:
Checking, the space around the parts is reasonable:
Presumably the small circles are for holes for dowels:
There is a feature which should select them:
which oddly misses some:
We make a layer for them:
and move the selected ones there:
Then we hide that layer:
select the remainder:
and move it to that layer as well:
Next we use a feature for selecting the small regions:
Select anything which was missed and move it to that layer as well:
Select all the part geometry:
Offset to the outside by endmill diameter plus 10% or so:
Apply:
Group Vectors:
Select everything except for the outermost geometry and the branding:
and assign a Pocket toolpath with a suitable tool:
(Note that we are assuming that the workholding will be such that tabs are not needed)
If one wants the Text for labeling, assign a V carving toolpath:
Selecting by Layer
and similarly a Drill toolpath for the alignment holes:
