I actually don't think that one was Brian, was it? Possibly Ron Ginger?

Exactly, it's hard to follow and gets real irritating

I get the same thing Andre and I believe it is the video itself.

Possibly you could post in the newfangled wizards area and maybe someone has a "cleaner" version of it for you-

You're very welcome, glad it's working for you. 

Just a side note, always use the clean button when you first import a dxf. It has saved me from many "unexplained" occurances -

Ok, thanks. I had a look t it and I'm not having any issues using a .062 cutter. Let me ask you, are you zooming in when offsetting? I've noticed that the closer you are to the chain being offsetted, the lessw problems occur but frankly on this part, I could have everything in view and it still offset correctly.

Also, did you use the "clean" button before trying to offset?

I'm uploading a few pics for you to show that it can be done. May I ask also what version you're running?

Hi Ryan,

Can you post your dxf for us to check out?

was just wondering if you tried removing the button caps. I looks like they are already clear with paper inserts under them to be printed on. Surly they can't expect everyone to put the labels on the outside and have to clear coat it etc. Everyone would have to label it for every application so it must be easier than that.

Looks really good though. I have one on order and I'll follow your lead if it doesn't come apart.

Sage, the 9 clear buttons at the top are indeed removable and yes, I've utilized the labels for those specific buttons but what I actualled was the white lettered labels that I used dry transfer characters to create words and then clear coated over those so they didn't rub off so easily. 

This is how it looks when you receive it:

It's a a piece of cake, Roy, and yes, the center (silver) control will do .001" at a time for me.

I even tapped and drilled it for a little rotating brass handle as it gives a nicer "feel" like a true MPG    -

When replying,look for the "Additional Options" link to the left of the reply box and click on it.

It'll reveal an attachment box to load your files. Name it something odd so it doesn't match anything else on this server or it will be kicked off.

Would this be of help to you? I think you need version 12 or above but I don't know a whole lot about Corel-
