Thanks Art,
  That was a huge difference, Now the shape centers are perfect and no problem with the number of nodes either.

Thanks

I am having problems finding the center of the gear for a planetary gear as the pdf does not print the shaft. The cross hair is not the rotational center. Is there any way to pint the shaft on a planetary gear? See attached picture, it shows the gears the cross hair and its center as an object and ...

Art,
  I have the epilog laser and the program I imported the gears is Coreldraw. Depending on the laser setting it does different things like speeds on curves vs straight line and small mod gear teeth cuts cleaner with fewer nodes.

Art,
I was thinking of reducing the number of nodes as I was cutting this in plastic with a laser. As you can see in this attached picture I manually reduced the number of nodes on one side of the gear. The problem with so many nodes it is difficult to fine tune the cutting speed and get a clean ...

I have been cutting some gears on a laser and want to play with the point distance and I could not find it, has it been removed as an user settable option?

Happy new year.
Thanks

Merry Christmas to you too
Thanks

Art,
  I just saw the tutorial for 3D printing, and I was very impressed. I was also wondering if you could output a file for laser 3D engraving?

Thanks
