  1. Enroute Gerber help

    Good evening All I am looking at Enroute 5.0 to run textured panels on my Gerber Sabre 408. Enroute tells me they will be faster than the Gerber software but can't tell me how much faster.

    Good afternoon All. I'm an Omega rookie (lots of experience with ArtPath though). I have a couple of questions: 1. Does Omega have a snap to point or snap to node? 2. What is the easiest way to draw an arc when all I know is the length and the height? Omega 4.0, Vista Thanks in advance.

  7. Perplexing Gerber Sabre problem

    Good afternoon all. While using the 3D engrave function on my Gerber Sabre 408 I noticed that there are random holes in the finished piece. I have run the part 4 times. One worked fine, the other 3 has spots where the Z axis went too far into the material. Same material, same file, same...

  10. Align and Distribute question

    Hi All Corel Draw does a great job with the align and distribute function but as far as I can tell it only works when two shapes are overlapping. I quite often have to butt two shapes up to each other and can't figure out an easy way to do so. Ideas anyone? Dropout

    Good morning all. I am going to be naking some parts from 1x6 boards. Is there a way to set up the material size in Artpath to multiple boards side by side (hopefully with some spacing between them)? Only loading one 5 1/2 wide board is a huge waste of space on a 54 inch wide machine. Thanks...

    Hi All. I am trying to lay out the back of an adirondak chair which conssists of seven parts. I'm trying to decide on the best approach, create one large part and then section it or to lay out all seven sections, superimpose a circle on it and then start deleting the parts that aren't chair...
