Step 1) The first thing for this project is to start with a fresh new work area in XCS software, from the shape list the rounded square was selected, along with this square a circle was created using the insert button, both these shapes were then sized to the finished size of the project. This can be any size you desire.

Step 2) The next thing is to introduce a very thin rectangle, this will be the same length as the size of the circle. Once there is one made a simple copy and paste is done to make a second one. with the first one in the vertical position the second one is turned 90° to create an plus sign. In order to make sure they are equal the align tool was used and the horizontal and vertical options were selected.

Step 3) Now the new cross shape is highlighted and the combine feature is used to unite the 2 pieces together. It is then place within the circle and properly centered. Now the entire new object is turned to resemble a X pattern, again the align tool was used to make sure it was completely centered.

Step 4) Now the text option is needed to bring in the wording on the chore generator, once the default HELLO was changed each section of the generator and choice of demands were selected.

Step 5) Now the needle or arrow was needed so again from the shape list an arrow was chosen and resized to the shape needed. At the one end of this new arrow a small circle was created, it is placed just near the end of the arrow.

Step 6) Now it was time to adjust all the settings for the laser machine, the circle and cross shape are to be scored the lettering all to be engraved and the outside lines along with the entire arrow gets cut.

Step 7) Now everything is put together it was time to see what I end up having to do??? The arrow is painted red and simply attached to the center of the cross pattern on the generator. this nail is only pushed into the wood enough to hold the arrow so it can spin freely.
