Tom: I can reproduce something similar to what you are getting by drawing a shape on the wrong plane and exporting it as a polyface mesh. I am not sure if this is your problem but the program I use I export lines only no faces.

Tom: You probably already know this but Make sure you are drawing the Geometry That you are exporting into Ecab. On the same plane as X and Y on the part editor screen. Looking straight down on the Z axes, Y runs top to bottom on the screen and X runs left to right. Make sure that the geometry is 2d...

Tom: What program are you using? Can you post the file you are trying to import?

Don: Thanks for your reply we are using version 5.66 as for the files I apologize for the cnc file as I did not use the export feature I will try to get them to you by Tuesday morning thanks again for your help.

I was doing a test run on this door and when I did the flip op for the glass pocket the machine tried to do the pocket clean up first and then the main pocket last. I have pockets on both sides with constraints. The front side has pockets with profiles. The front side pocketed as normal.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't part editor have offset , mirror and move/copy tools that can be used to do what Tom is describing? Although Kerry's method is the method of choice for me.

Thanks Josh: I will give that a try. I found some flat bottom spiral cutters on MLCS web site. We have some straight 2 flute carbide tipped cutters on hand but there is a space on the bottom between the tips. I will have to try one and see if they leave marks too. Before purchasing one.

I was wandering if anyone was using a end mill cutter for metal on solid wood. We have some molding to run that have some flat faces and our standard spiral cutters are leaving lines from the sharp points on the ends. The only end mills I can locate are for metal.

We have a customer that wants a bookcase that will open into a passageway has anyone ever built one if so what type of hardware is best? It will be for a opening approx.. 55" wide. The unit needs to be 14 inches deep. My biggest concern is sagging. They were also asking about a automated openin...

My Question is.Has any other Beta testers recieved this new release yet or is CFP now the official tester?I choose to have a postive outlook on this but it just would not be right if THM and ECAB is holding out on this new jonery until CFP and Home Depo has cornered the market.

We have some doors that we would like to make a simple centerline profile with a custom cutter 1/4 ballnose to be exact. The door and the geomentry was created from a back. I have never used the mdf door feature in controle nesting before I need to nest these doors with the rest of the job as they w...

Jason I have this issue before when it was cold at night then the next morning it would do this and also some times when multable machines that used the same air compresser were in use. The fix was to warm up the head for about 30 min if the cold temp was a factor and to shut air off to unnesseary m...

Ok I see that you all are cutting counter tops on the router but how do you hold them down and what lingth cutters are you using most of our post form tops come with a 3.5 to 4in. back splash. Also what about the grooves for the draw bolts in the mighterd cuts? I understand the need for the dxf file...

Hase or does any one use there router to cut post form tops example 45 deg. angles sink cut outs etc.

Kerry I was able to apply the cutter you posted by removing all of the fillets (all corners where 90 deg.) Although I had to recreate the part.It seams that the problem may have something to do with the fillets or arcs.When I apply fillets to the inside corners the software crashes.When I apply fill...
