Hi Chip,
To make sure you are aware, this array system Terry has developed is currently for 2d point finding. With that said, nearly any 3d model that has an odd outside shape or cavity that needs to be reversed engineered can be probed for the data. Here I am speaking like someone who knows what I'm talking about, but I will actually get to run my first test tomorrow morning. Terry developed this to help me get a profile of a guitar that I just could not get in cad. I tried several times and it was taking way too much time. If you want I can post some sort of model tomorrow morning for a sample.

Hi,Art, Brian and All
Is there a way Mach3 can follow a X,Y path, set to pick-up Z value (set to probe at X Y move distance say .250) and incorporate it into a new file with X Y Z moves.
Need to trim off some excess edges, on some (one off) curved shapes 2 x 4 feet, plasma, Water-jet ?.
Any Thoughts Ideas ??
Thanks, Chip
