Re: Grained parts wider than material

Another solution is to specify a material size of 61 x 121? Or even bigger for that matter.
If you are looking for a realistic rendering you should find a way to show those shelves sagging about an inch . That way the client will not be surprised upon delivery.
Please don,t take offence

Re: Alphabet

Being able to cut various fonts is a source of revenue that is badly needed. The lack of this ability to leave islands in your pockets is the biggest short falls of this software. Not just 1 island but multiple islands.

Make a templet to pattern route the Archs from the front and then route a rectangle in from the back half way through. Its the kind of Job that make you wish you had a cnc. You wou...

When if ever are we going to have the ability to leave islands in the pockets? Using CN or Ecabinet? What is the problem? Is there no demand?
