Probably the most complex thing I've cut so far

Thanks for reporting back and good luck!

Fantastic!

BTW, what do you mean by this?

I placed the bodies in parts hoping that a2plus would import them as separate objects, but nope...

[m0n5t3r]

It was a bit of a naming confusion, really... In A2+ objects are called parts, I wanted to import several bodies as separate parts, thought if I place bodies in part design parts and only make the ones I want visible it would work automagically (I was also glad I found a use for the part design Part thingy, but that's another story)

It didn't work, but following the discussion on github there is now a command in A2+ devel that allows doing something similar to Arch external references (importing a single body from a FreeCAD file), so something good did come out of this eventually

Hello m0n5t3r, this feature is now available with A2plus version 0.4.21. When using the new button described here:
https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/A2plus_ ... ng_Started
you can select what body in the selected file should be imported as part.

I know, I guess this got lost in the rest of the text

Certainly maxed out the size my MPCNC can cut, I keep postponing that rebuild to make it larger...

sheet fixed with the classic masking tape + super glue combo, then the CNC drilled a bunch of strategically placed holes so I could screw it down, paused, moved out of the way, paused again, then proceeded to cut the rest of the thing...

FreeCAD file link, because it won't allow me to post it here (too large): https://matrix.m0n5t3r.info/_matrix/med ... wZEPOqrRbi

It's amazing!What puzzles me is how to cut a part with scripts?Could you help me?Many thanks.
