Use these free part models by dropping them directly into your 3D design or as part downloads for your SOLIDWORKS parts library, Inventor parts library or AutoCAD parts library. If you wish for certain features of the drawing not to be cut out such as a line or circle, right click on the line and click on "visibility" this will turn off the visibility of the line and make it disappear. Find free downloads for supplier parts models, component models, 3D parametric models and supplier component downloads, including free CAD drawings, assembly models and full 3D CAD models. Click "OK" in the "edge properties" dialogue box and will see that your drawing now has all red lines. 001 and the "color" is set to red as shown in the picture. In this box you will ensure that the "line weight" is set to. Autodesk bought them up and migrated it into the AutoCAD Electrical package. It was a third party add on that gave R14 a bundle of tools for electrical schematics and panel layouts. In the 2nd picture you see the "edge properties" dialogue box appears. If you are an electrical kinda person (AutoCAD Electrical that is) you should try to find a copy of a piece of software called Via 6. Then you will right click on one of the drawings lines and select "properties." In the 1st picture we will click and drag to highlight the entire drawing. This will end up giving you a part with incorrect dimensions. If you use a thicker line, the cutter will go back and forth along that line to cut the thickness/area of the line. This essentially makes a line that has no area, meaning the laser cutter will read this as a vector and cut a single straight line for all of the lines. Most laser cutters and water cutters read red lines as cut lines.

In this step you will prepare your drawing for laser cutting by changing the line weight (line thickness) and color.
