    Break Project into smaller size

    I am using Vcarve Pro and have a 9" x 91" project.

    I can only cut a length of 31" on my CNC.

    How do I edit/break up the 91" VC project file into 31" sections?

    I cannot simply slide the 91" material 31" and cut the second and last parts.

    I need to have 3 separate files.

    Thanks

    I don't know whether v-carve has this because I have aspire. Look for the tile toolpath button and you can break your project into any number of pieces.
