I have a piece that has a pocket, and inside the pocket I want to cut a hole all the way though the material. It won't let me do a pocket if there is a circle inside the area, and I can't add the circle and do the inside cut after the pocket is done. Is there a way to do this without generating 2 cnc files and combining them?
sure there is (-: I think.... generate the pocket code, group it, move it out of the way draw the circle, add the inside cutline, group it (the cut line and the circle outline) now move the pocket group back into place. yup, just tried it, works perfectly. you do need to leave a reference mark behind so you can easily put the pocket back where it belongs. or use construction lines.
Cool, I think I tried that but I did not group anything. I just did the pocket, moved it all over, did the inside cut and moved it back and the pocket got messed up. Guess the grouping protects it. Thanks
