Chaining advice !

[Robert M]

Hi all !!

Have a commissioned project requiring pocketing some cross style pastern !
here bellow is only an a sample board for testing and customer approval.


FEW PROBLEMS !!
A - the final board has +/- 30x more of these crosses @_# !
B - the present issue is I'm having some....either brains fade or to much morning caffeine ....I can't find how to properly chain these. I explain !!

The "original" cad come from another source and is imported to MC. !?!

So when selecting the option close chain, it will ONLY take a single branch at the time, not all of the bottom pattern !




OK...I then thought let's select window chaining !!...noP.. !


...



Nop has.....it gives me this ??!....





Again.....it I select single chaining....or even polygon on a one by one basis.....it's ok !?!

Anyone KNOWS how to solved this??
for 5 of those crosses.....one by one is not so....bad !
but for...+/- 300.........DARN !! there must be a ...better way I'm not seeing

Thanks in advance...

Why not just Xform project to plane Select new level
then delete duplicates
Then window chain
