    need help chaing same entities

    I have a job that I need to program that has roughly 1000 of the exact same entities. I know there is a way to select all them all at once rather going thru them individually. Can anyone help me with this?

    thanks

    You can use toolpath transform as long as the entities are spaced evenly apart. You only have to toolpath one entity, then you can translate the toolpath in x and y "x" amount of times.

    You can also place all of those entiities on a separate layer, that way in the future you can turn off all other layers and select all with a bounding box.

    Hope this helps,


    Steve
