    I have not used my foamcutter for a couple of years but will dig up some of the info later. My cutter is also 3/8 x 16tpi and the steps for running foamworks from my pc is 3217 steps.
    Hope this helps.

    Any tricks in Foamworks or cadworks on getting the line segment equal between to DXF files?

    I can import a wing root DXF and Wing tip DXF, but when I prep the drawing it ends up with two different line counts. I have manually traced over the drawings, but it is time consuming to draw 160 line segments. Also the cut is not very even because I’m guessing at where the points on the lines are as I trace in cadworks.

    An option to split a DXF in the drawing prep to a specific number would be great.
