I downloaded the Simple Scout XL plans and tried to convert a page to dxf so I can cut it out on my needlecutter. I finally figured out a way to get one page as a PDF. I used InkScape and Illustrator. The page won't allow me to delete any of the objects I don't need in the dxf file. No matter what I try I can't convert it. The dxf file I export is always blank when I open it in ESTLCAM. It seems the PDF format has completely changed from all the ones listed at the beginning of this thread. When I opened a page in Illustrator all the lines and curves where vector objects. Now it is all one big image that I can't edit. Any suggestions on what else I might try?
Yea, while I understand FT's decision about plans, I am still mad at the jerks who made them go defensive, it just ruins it for the rest of us.
for another idea about the scout Xl (and let me try to give you a hint... pm me if you need a second one) the scout XL is 150% of the original...
And you can find the original PDF here in this thread (thanks to Sponz!)
