Anyone got any ideas how to use RDworks to replicate this style. I've tried scan and spacing intervals but can't work out how to do it diagonally. Any suggestions or help?

Easily? No. But there's always a way. Rotate the object you want to scan using RDWorks. I'd use a "standard" rotation like 30, 45, or 60 degrees. Then place your material on the bed at that angle. If you have a 30 - 60 - 90 drafting triangle, it'll help setting the material at the appropriate angle. Or use a Speed Square for 45 degrees.
Scan with a very wide interval.
Enjoy!

what a good idea! I have been drawing out diagonal cut lines with 2mm spacing for ages, its been a night mare!

how did you get your spacing on the preview scan? mines just a solid block, ive stared at the screen that long i cant see where im going wrong, cheers

Thanks.

Go to the layer parameters window where you set up the cut / scan info, and then set the scan interval. Mine says 1.1mm simply because it had been set to 0.1 previously, and I changed it to 1.1 to illustrate the method.
Enjoy!
