How to separate parts

solly747 · February 2, 2019, 1:19pm

I’ve been given a dxf file, and when I load it into estlcam I find I need to re-arrange most parts to fit inside my work area. Trouble is when I select one part, the whole lot get highlighted. Is there a way to break these up into individual pieces so I can move them independently? See pic[attachment file=“Screenshot_110.png”]

Thanks John

Were you able to move individual pieces of the artwork or only individual CAM’d elements?

I dont think you can manipulate the original file in estlcam but once tool paths are created they can be moved.

Press and hold CTRL key and you can move individual pieces before even making toolpaths
