Something cheap to do small boxes that slot together for small parts to fit inside drawers in a workshop.

Many thanks.

All I can offer!

You will need a pdf to dwg converter, then you will need to scale it in cad using the bounding box.

Thanks, book marked it for later but was wanting cardboard boxes, probably quicker to design my own.

I'm sure I saw a similar site but just for boxes ?

Incidentally V Carve Pro and Cut 2D from Vectric will open a PDF file and then export it to a DXF with out doing any work.
I don't have Corel draw and use V carve for all my design work then load into Lasercut.

To answer my own post [ sign of a demented mind ? ] with some help from the Sawcreek forum, Matt over there suggested that Inkscape had a built in extension to do this. Extension > Raster > Fold box
