I was trying to extract the splitter as a vector. However, I was only able to do this as a bitmap. It was possible to save the individual knife to EPS. The EPS didn't open correctly in X1, but did in E3. I saved to AI in E3, and that opened in X1. I haven't tried AI from AVB. An X1 trace of the PNG didn't work. Rich

I extended the lines to a rectangle, and did some X1 magic to create a group of pieces. I loaded an image into the group, and then ungrouped to release the individual pieces.
I got a response from AutoFX saying to change the piece size to minimize the small objects.

I saved a cutting line to AI, and opened the file in X1. Then duplicated the line to get a pattern. This has fewer nodes, and would be much better for bevels and such. Rich

Very promising Rich! Thanks.

Ed,
Your puzzle looks great. I thought I would try molding the shape, and see if the pieces could be released. Rich

Thanks John,
I was wondering about how to trim to a line. Your drawing got me to try that. I'll have to try making the lines longer and see if that has an effect. i.e. If I get something beside the pieces. I want to try the shape edit smoothing, too. I think your drawing would be a good example for that. I wanted to extract the full cutter from AVB, but I can only save a segment. the segment is vector, however.
What I did was to size the segment to a even pixel width, and duplicate slightly less than that length. Then the segments would add together. I like adding shapes and breaking shapes to get objects. I have been doing the wing drawings that way. I also like the feature of filling into a group, ungrouping and being able to move individual pieces.

this looks like fun think i will give it a try
