Right i have wanted to ask this question for a while and i know there are a lot of professional folk on here who will know how to do this .

The software i am using is Vectrics Aspire4.

My cnc work area is 400mm x 600mm x 100mm

I would like to create a wall plaque lets say 2 meters by 2 meters 50mm thick and apart from the obvious of buying a bigger machine to do the job with , is there a way to take a scene lets say the last supper and scale it to 2.0 x 2.0 x 50mm and then overlay a grid over the picture and make the grid squares 300mm x 300mm x 50mm and then write a toolpath for the 300x300x50 grid and machine each grid and the end result would be to put them all together in there relevant order to make one whole scene measuring 2.0 x 2.0 x 50mm
Is there any videos that explain how to do this or is there anyone on here can explain how to

The feature you are after is called 'Tiling'
Not sure about v4, but definitely in more current versions of Aspire and plenty of videos on YT explaining how to use it.

Good luck with the project.

Yes V4 does indeed do tiling, you'll find it in the tool path section under Tile toolpath.
