Creating VECTOR multi-cut-files

[aplmac@sunbeach.net]

I need to cut 430 small square 'embellishments' for a client.
I have no intention on zeroing my little cut-file 430 times, in order to complete the task.
How do I create a Vector(.sbp)file that'll cut about 30-50 of these items in one long string, with the machine simply jogging from the end of one cut to the beginning of the new cut??

Make an object of one cut pattern(Change-Make Object), including the "Connect at Z". Then use Draw-Other Curves-Stack Object to make rows and/or columns of the same pattern.

Vector will automatically rapid between each one. Set your coordinate axis(Axis-Move) to the deepest depth of the object before you stack, as it assumes (possibly, in error) that you set your table to Z=zero. Then reset the axis after the stack, to cut the correct depths.

The other way is to Make an object like above, and then Copy-paste with multiple copies along the X axis. You can also do the same thing with an entire row or column to fill a rectangular area.

A Vector Object remembers the order of selection, so all you have to do is click on it and it will generate the CNC code in the correct order.
