Hello.
I'd like to create a DXF file for a CNC router operation. The part is a flat part (MDO board) with numerous cut outs. However there
are some areas that are not cut all the way through, having a depth of cut of .200". The vendor requests a DXF file
with 2 layers, one for the basic shape with through cuts, another separate layer showing the .200 cuts. I know how to create a single
layer DXF file, but I'm stumped on how to create the DXF file with the 2nd layer showing the separate depth cuts.
I've tried to look this up on line, youtube videos and such, but can't really find an answer. Any help, direction pointing or
short explanation would be much appreciated.... and thank you. If any help, I've uploaded a file so you can see what I'm referring to.
There's 2 configurations, one showing all the cuts and one of the basic shape with through cuts.
thank you again.
