Hi all

Now A am getting really frustrated.
Thanks Chip for the cleanup files bud of course I also made my own files to see and learn from all yours and others input.
I made A dxf that is respectable (removed allmost all splines and changed in to arcs , loaded in Lazycam , rearranged all paths to cut in the wanted order , rearranged all chains in A few layers , made offset on all items and I may say it went perfect including the right wing.
So far so good bud A man has to sleep sumtimes , so saved my work (did that of course also in between), went to sleep , wake up , go to work , come home and with good faith start to edit again to make the cutdephts and the tabs.

To make A short story long , I opened the lcam file and found out that in the layer ONDIEP all the entities and chains are gone except one chain and one entitie.
If I enable the layer (on the picture ONDIEP) all entities are shown in the drawing bud not in the list and I can set the depth of cut so i think I rescue my project bud that's all I can do with it.
This is real frustrating.

I have the lcam file included.
I also included the tap file I made.
If you run the tap file you see also one of the reasons why I want to move entities to another chain.
It cuts to one mm in more steps bud now each entitie is cut at a time and not as A chain what take Allot of time moving up and down.

Thanks Chip

Looks good, I did also take A better look at the drawing and found A lot of rubbish (double lines etc.).
I had take the drawing from the internet (somewhere in in the cnczone group) and modified it A bit bud somehow deleted lines did remain in the drawing.
Now I think it is usable'

Hi Dave

Thanks for reply.
I was thinking Chip had try the Tail bud it was you, sorry my mistake.
At the end i manage to make A resable file with offsets bud I hate it when I don't know watt is wrong in A drawing.
In the file of chip I could not make an offset of the wing although it was in one click selected as A chain.
never the less it would be easy if I could move an entity from one chain to another (that is what started this tread) and it also would be suitable if there is A possibility if chains , entities and layers could be locket so they Will not be rearranged in A cleanup or optimize command.

Greetings and thanks:

Thanks Chip

I can see that I must look better to the most little thinks.
On the place where the second screenshot was taken I saw in Lazycam A stop off the chain bud I could not see why.
Bud now when I zoom in deeper I can see the break.
I will fight A bit more with the file to see what is more wrong.
I am curious to see if you can make A pretty offset on the wing.

Hi Chip

Did you select it with one click?
If I see it good you did not clean first?
For me this is unbelievable.

I have also problems with making an offset with the wing, maybe if you try it wiil come op excellent.
I did try it with A tool with 1mm diameter.

Hi Chip

Just attempt to first select the outside and make A offset bud if the tolerance is to Small I don't get A closed chain and if to big inside entities will be selected as well
If I make the tolerance very very very Small I can select the entities in the inside as if they were chains and then I can move them (as A group) away from the other entities so for now that is what I have used bud this is very complex.
It would be more easy if entities could be moved to A different chain (and after that to A different Layer).

Hi Chip

P.S.
You mean if I delete the original outside chain the inside entities are for sure not attached to the outsidechain, did not think of that option
