Hi guys.  
Is it possible to draw something, for example, a square to round hopper feeder neck split it in half and nest it for it then to be cut out on my plasma deck then folded up with my CNC pressbrake. Hope that makes sense.  
Cheers James

Hello,  
Could you please upload some sketches or pictures of the shape you are aiming for? It would help a lot in finding where to begin. Thanks!

This is pretty much what I need to do.

Brilliant, cheers TigerMike.

So can I now split it into 2 equal half’s, annotate the angles and face edge to export it to a DXF file which will allow my CNC plasma to cut out the net then throw it through my CNC press brake.

Many thanks for your responses.

All good guys. Needed to upgrade to paid subscription to export as 2D tech drawing DXF
