1971 Dodge Charger File Help

[eckcotech]

Hey all, I have a drawing I finished but am having a bit of trouble getting it to a dxf file. When I use TMCad to create a dxf for this file, the cut order is messed up and some of the thin lines need to be line cut without lead-ins.

Any help on this would be great, Also feel free to use this file. it's one I made and am happy to share.

Hi,
Send me a dxf or cdl file and I will convert it to a TM cut file.

Here is a cutpath for the Torchmate. Let me know if I need to change anything else. The bridges in the letters may be a little small. I can fix that if it is a problem.

Here's a PDF of the Cut Path

Wow, that was fast!

I may have to do some more reading on TMCad. This file still wants to cut the outside first or second instead of last and I am unsure how to change the cut order.

in any case, thank you VERY much for your help. I will spend some time with the software today and figure out cut orders. I am sure I will need it again in the future.

I will look at the cut order and change it today. I will let you know the process.

Hi,
Here is a redrawn cut path. I did have to get rid of some double lines for some reason. I rearranged the cut order by going to " Layout... Sequence... Start sequence by list". You can set the sequence any way you want with that.
I tried this new cut path, and it works fine in TM3.

Perfect !!

Thank you so much for your help and more so for the know how on sequencing. I will play around some more with this file until I become more familiar with the software.

You're Welcome. The best way to learn is to do by trial and error. Also, join the Pirate 4X4 Torchmate forum and go through the tutorials on the first page. The link is http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=125.
