Default Laser

Yea Chad when I do the files for jesse when I am done I duplicate all parts that need more than one and set them up in rectangles the size of his balsa and ply then I list wood sizes needed and arrange them for him under proper wood size so all he needs to do is slap a piece of wood in place and click and there goes the laser. we use corel draw for it though as he told me autocad files seem to add more stuff to it so it takes the laser longer to cut but an average ziroli kit takes about 5 hrs for the laser to cut and etch. it would prob go faster but I go all out and set the files up so it will etch all dashed lines so a person doesnt have to draw them on themselves when figureing out where something gets glued onto.
