Here's what I'm trying to do. I can load a part into sheetcam just fine. Then I want to offset it from 0,0 by half an inch which I do just fine. Then I want to bring in a 1/4 dia. hole to be cut at 0,0. BTW this is being done on a 4' x 8' CNC router table. The purpose of the 1/4 hole is to index my sheet so that in case a bit breaks or I have to pause and restart I'll have a reference point to come back to. So I want to run two process, one to drill the hole and one to cut the part. I'm using a 1/4" router bit. The problem, the hole won't come in. Nothing appears on the screen and when I try to zoom to part it just zooms out, it doesn't show the hole.I've tried multiple holes and even went to a 0.3" dia. but that didn't come in either. Output is from CorelDraw in AutoCAD 2.5 export as DXF.
Thanks,
Lindsay
