The part I am trying to Route on my Torchmate 4X4 router, is a symmetrical Hexagon with the XYZ Zero at the Geometrical center, of the part. I need some How-To in creating that shape, contour, profile, whatever in Bob Cad-Cam, I have no problem making Circles, squares, Rectangles, lines, but so far it is beyond me as to how you create a Hexagon, or for that matter other Parallelograms or Trapezoids. Could someone explain to me how this is done or where I could find a tutorial on the Subject. I have Bob Cad-Cam Ver.-25 Standard addition, not the Pro.

Hi Gary,

Simply create a circle the size you need. Use divide entity by 6 in that case,then you can use point end to create 6 equidistant points around the circle. And finally line join to make your figure.
There's also rotate, that could be use ,and many more ways Im sure.
