I have access to CNC mills at school and AutoCAD at home, so that's not a big deal. The issue I was considering was the inset channel for the runners being on the opposite side of the machining face. Any time you relocate a part, you're asking for alignment issues. We're not trained/allowed to use edge finders on the equipment at school, so it has to be a single-sided operation. Now if I could just get AutoCAD to stop crashing, I could get this new plate drawn up...
