Paul, no one could accuse you of being long-winded.

So if you are able to speed up drawing the tabs or box joints, would manually laying the parts out flat be a problem?

LOL,

No, not really, I just thought it would quicker to output the parts, nest them and the cut the parts.

Kyyu,

Many thanks for the link, that is perfect.

They're just wide box joints. The dovetail plugins mentioned would certainly do those notches. As to laying the pieces out flat, I'm not familiar with one that would that part. I assume your next step after alying them out flat is creating the tool paths to make the parts?

Yes

sorry for the long winded reply

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all your help, I think I need to explain a bit more...The plugin creates a 6 sided box with all edges notched as the picture, it also lays the panels out flat.

Thanks

Paul

When I send my drawing to LayOut I get an error saying save file before sending to LayOut, I save the file but I still get the error message.
I have tried to repair the install and a new install but still get this error.

Can any one help ?

Many thanks

Paul

Thank You Modelhead

Hi Ithil,

Thank you very much

Hi all,

Where did 6.4.112 come from, I can only find 6.0.01313 ?

I just tried to install the latest upgrade, the install crashed with a catastrophic failure(their words)... now Layout will not open because it cannot seem to find the licence file.....Any ideas ?

Thanks

Paul
