Can someone "create part using closed contour" this?

I can't make it work. It only creates part of the part.

Thanks!

Tim

Is this what you are looking for? It doesn't seem different to me.

This is what it looked like when I opened it. I am probably missing something. If this is it then I need to figure out how to add it as a link for you to have it. :mrgreen:

Excuse me while I use this as a learning tool. I think I have learned how to add an esa. file attachment. Disregard this message. :oops:

I'm guessing this is the shape you are looking for.

I am having problems getting this to work also. I saved a DXF file in a CAD program so I could open it in the second screen of the part editor (right click, Load Geometry). It will show up in the second screen for me but when I bring it back into the first screen of the part editor it doesn't show up. I included a zipped DXF file just in case you want to try it.

Here's one I did in eCabs. It is similar but with less of an arch. If this is what you are looking for let me know.

When I downloaded your .esa file and added for the part that was left out I came up with a dimension of 84" wide by 504" long. I think the problem might be the size of the display cube (over 40 feet long) and not being able to work with something that size in the part editor. One of the wizards could verify this over the weekend or Thermwood can on Monday.

The size shouldn't be an issue.

Rick,

It might be a problem. I seem to remember this coming up before where a part was just too large and then my memory might be fading also. It still wouldn't hurt to check it out with the eCab guys.

It seems to work. The LDE is struggling a bit though.
