    blueprint help

    Hi all
    Im new to programming, I have been doing it for about 12 weeks. The question I have is I am trying to take some blueprints I have drawn and I want to put them into a CNC machine. I am making a plate with certain bolt patterns. How can I input the blueprint measurements. Can someone give me an example.

    Thanks

    Well, most CNC machines I've seen have a CAD program of some sort that is used for the input... And I'm not sure I'd trust anything else to operate something as large as that to anythign but CAD.
