If you need help, feel free to ask.
I use it to make quick 2d outline programs. I offset my shape half my tool dia. I draw a small circle at x y 0.0.
When using it, you can't have any gaps or intersecting lines or it will stop.
When I get a chance, I'll post a couple screen caps.

Thanks for the offer. I'm still a few months away from needing software, but when I am, I'll take you up on it. Happy New Year.hwboivin3 wrote:If you need help, feel free to ask.

Duh! What did I do? Old geezers like me don't understand computers like the young guys. I've finally learned to handle simple jobs, but the learning curve is a lot longer for me.
