By "a real point", I assume you mean known numeric coordinates (presumably in the drawing, relative to the drawing's zero point). I do not know of any way you can just enter such an offset. The best approach, if you cannot get the CAD coordinates to be where you need them, is probably to ...

What CAD are you using? Some systems allow you to set the origin of the drawing. There are a variety of options for exporting DXF files some work better than others; it will depend on your CAD as to what's available I'm using Rhino, but not very experienced. I do know that Rhino has an export with ...

I don't see anything wrong with the file. I was able to read it in CNC12 offline/demo v5.00. What CNC11 or CNC12 software version are you using? Yes that’s the correct file. I believe my software is the same, v 5.00 cnc12. Maybe I should look at my dxf export options. Do you know a way to select a ...

When I import this dxf to intercon it loses the 8 arcs and only the straight lines appear, even though it was all joined before exporting. What am I missing here?

Yes. If you want to make an array of circular pockets, then two Repeat cycles will do it. The first Repeat copies the Pocket cycle down the remainder of the first row. The second Repeat copies the Pocket plus the first Repeat, to make the remaining rows. I got it done before I saw this, but I forgo...

If I understand your request and ignoring the DXF part, this needs just one main Intercon command with a choice of 2 - Either Bore Array or Drill Array. Assuming your 105 holes are split 7 rows in Y Axis and 15 rows on X axis, you enter Bore or Drill Array and enter increments of nn inches (or mm) ...

If I have a dxf with a high number of operations, (my 4x8 spoil board needs 105 holes cut) is there no way to efficiently program this in Intercon? Is this an example of when I would need to use another CAM program that would allow me to select all parts for a single operation? Thanks for any advice.
