drowning:how to resize .dxf files in mach2
mike

have a look under the tab marker Program Run (ALT+1) and to the right of each of the X ,Y and Z axis co-ordinates display is a area titled SCALE .... +1.000

If you need the DXF 50% smaller set X and Y to +0.5 this will keep the cutting depth at full size but if this also needs shrinking sellect +0.5 as well

best way to work out shrinkage is measure the current size ie 230mm, Determine what size you want ie 13mm and devide 13/230 = 0.056 (this becomes your scaleing factor)

now set each axis to 0.056 and your new cutting file is only 113mm big or is that small???

Maybe gain some yards with this?

Don't suppose anyone has a simple Semi-Tractor-Trailer truck they could share?

I am new to the forum and am interested in getting a jump start to do plasma metal art. I have SheetCam, Mach 3, and Corel 13. I teach high school and am a real newbie to this, but was lucky enough to talk my school into buying a new table. We have done some simple AutoCad DXF parts, but the kids would like to do some more complex art, of course. I bought a sign torch art disk, and have been fooling around with merging art files in Corel, but have yet to get one to run. Does anyone have any suggestions for tutorials that could get us started? This is going to be one of the best things for our metals program yet, I am sure! I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

You might want to look into getting the DXF Tools Corel plugin.

Here is a small artillery piece to get started. Load this into Mach 3 and give it a try a cutting. You will ned to change the file extension to .tap

I find that a lot of times you can't compare any auto-trace program to manually tracing it. I find the best way is to trace from the end of each curve with a straight line, then go back over it and convert all the necessary lines to curves, positioning them as required. But I'm by no means expert at tracing... I'm probably not even good. Anyway, V-Carve really does have a great tracing feature in it now. www.vectric.com The auto-trace in CorelX3 is pretty good too. I often don't even bother spending time trying to auto-trace, and then having to come back in frustration and manually trace it anyway. As mentioned, doing it the 'old fashioned' way with a printout, some tracing paper, and a black felt tip marker, then scanning it in, often works wonders. Although sometimes this produces extra unwanted lines.....

I'd love to see a pic of one of the finished keychains....

Pics didn't turn out great, but this will give you an idea.

Ok you mean to tell me that no one has seen the movie back to the future! LOL! I don't know which one of them it was but they were riding a old steam locomotive. Sorry about the confusion I just though everyone had seen them at one time or another.Lol

BTW I have what I need Thanks to those who sent and posted. I'll post a pict of it done when I get it there! Thanks again to all!

The old looking train that pushed the Delorian was the Siera #3. Here is the best thing I could find that scaning the net. The flying train is in Florida at Universal Studios. Maybe some one could go take a good side profile shot if they are going there. ???:rainfro:
