hey all i am working on a sculpture that consists two buds that i cut up into into 90 or so different layers in 123D. i imported the dxf file produced into cambam but was unable to create the tool path because each profile was to close to create a offset. i need to space out the objects but box selecting each part and re-positioning it seems superfluously time consuming. ive checked in 123d make and from what i can tell there seems to be no functional way to create this offset. is there a way in cambam or any other application to equally distribute these profiles throughout my stock dimensions. i have attached the link to one of the dxf file from 123D that has been causing me problems.
thank you

The link seems to do a search on the internet for drop box.
If you will attach the DXF or pull the DXF into Cambam and post the Cambam (.cb) file I may could help.

Attachment 218606 here is a image of the file i was having trouble attaching the file when i first posted.
the forum did something wonky with the url which caused the error this should work i think. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vlxedgyzos...arge%20bay.dxf

1- Load dxf into Cambam.
2- Left click and hold left mouse down, drag a box around the part you want to move, then let go of left mouse button. Part should change colors now highlighted.
3- Right click – select transfom-select move. Then left click pick somewhere on the part you are moving then left click when you want the part moved to. To exit the move command, just left click on the drawing area and you should see the part unhighlight. Note you can use the measure tool located under tools – measure to measure between parts to allow enough space for your cutter to clear.
If you need help with the tool path give me a shout.
