Look at the drawing below. The green lines are your part drawing. The red lines are your tool path. If you are going to use a 1/2 " cutter on the spokes, then you need to offset the green lines by 1/4" (Like I show for the Red lines). Ace is not as easy as just drawing your lines and arcs. You have to plan your stragity. I think that ACE uses color of lines for feed and rapid movements as well as levels. Also I think that Ace will send the cutter along the line in the direction you draw it! So do some testing with your CAD software and ACE to learn these things before you make a try on a REAL part.
