Someone posted a cdr file for plans to a puzzle rocker in the cnc forum.
I cut one out of .75 mdf and it turned out just fine. Using .75 mdf was a fair amount of overkill to say the least the chair must weigh 20-30 lbs. I decided to scale down the material thickness so I could use .25 cdx and make the chair into a yard prop for a potted plant holder.
Now you have the background; here comes my corel draw questions.
What is the usual process to reduce tabs and slots in drawings using corel draw?(my method is laughable)
How do you get exact measurements using Coreldraw?
I believe that I have reduced the slots to .25 but I was unable to find a accurate way to track measurement using Coreldraw.
below is a link to the OP of the chair drawing.

Here is my reduced material sizing of the original drawing.
I am going to scale it down and cut it out of .25 material on the laser later this weekend.
maybe a acrylic desktop plant holder, who knows.
