Damon, Did you get the .dwg from Wood web? If so that drawing has over 19000 lines so it would take a really long time to load in the part editor.
If you need the one I sent scaled, let me know .
Now does anyone have a cool plan for a Pinewood Derby car that can be cut on the router?

His school mates say its not fair that he has the tools to make all the cool projects. They come to school with cardboard cut outs and we show up with elaborate displays.
How about if it is just a 3D computer animation?

Yes , I guess that would give me another axis since that bit is now at 90deg. to the spindle.

How do you get the DXF into the part editor? I can get one into the LDE but no where else.

Lamar,
In the Part Editor, take your part into Contour then click on the "Load Geometry" Icon at the far left and find your dxf and open it.
