    Editing line

    Hi everyone. Im not really that good with rhino yet, still learning.

    I have a file that was created in Adobe Illustrator, when I open it in Rhino the parts are all grouped together with each other. The file is designed to be cut on a laser cutter but I want to modify it to be cut on a router. Need to add curves into the corners and slots to make it work.

    Once I add the curves in, how do I cut up the polyline to remove the unwanted areas?

    I have attached the file to show what I mean with the grouping. I can create the curve easily using the slice tool If I create new polylines. I just cant do it on the existing ones. There is also another file I have attatched to show what I need to do on all the internal corners of the file.

    Any help would be great,

    John

    Explode the blocks first, then try the fillet command, with the join option.

    Gerry to the rescue again!

    Explode worked great. I have been creating the circles and then using the slice tool to remove the unwanted parts of the circle and lines.

    Could you explain why/how to use the Fillet and Join in what im doing?

    Nope.
    Actually, that won't work for what you're trying to do.
