Well I gave it a try.

The project is to create a pair of boot sole masters for mould making, the mirror image worked well.

Unfortunately I forgot that the size numerals on the sole would also be mirrored, so I have a 10 and a 01 

Well cut another and you have a pair Daddy & Baby boots. . . May the force be with you My pad-wan learner. . 

And the force be with you too  "Oh DO one kanobe"

Thats an impressive piece of work, love the inlay, going to see if I can find out how to do it now, as it's getting close to Christmas again.

Thanks for the info djc, I certainly wouldn't have looked under scaling for the answer. I've still to cut and prove the program, so i'll give it a try once complete.

I used to program a number of CNC mahines may years ago in the aerospace industry, we had to make port and starboard parts, this was made real easy using a G code G28 !!! and then the axis to be mirrored. Is this avaiable in Mach3.
