as requested on support… Given a file: [image] which has dimensions: [image] (note that the file was damaged and had to be repaired) We launch Carbide Create v8: [image] go into Job Setup: [image] and set things to match, then draw geometry to match the Stock size: [image] Then switch to the 3D Model tab: [image] Import STL File: [image] and set the dimensions as desired: [image] Apply [image] Show 3D [image] Done [image] If desired, trace the 3D model: [imag…

Importing Crocodile STL and assigning toolpaths

Hi guys and guyesses. I am hoping for some help. I recently purchased a dxf file to experiment a bit before purchasing Pro software. I signed up for a 14 day trial of 652 pro and find that it will not load a DXF file. Why is this so? The same file opens flawlessly in a vectric product and I can do everything right through to the carve, which it won’t let me do! I’ve been using carbide Create for the last 12 months and am keen on purchasing, but if it’s not going to work,it’s not going to work! …

Importing an STL to a specific base thickness

Given an STL file: [image] which once opened and imported is: [image] Stock thickness is noted as: wood is .735" thick, I am wanting a .25 bottom Base. There are three different ways to approach this, but we will assume that the desire is for a serving tray which has a working thickness of 0.25", and which uses the full thickness of the stock. 2.31mm == 0.09094488 so the model will need to be scaled up quite a bit (x8) Rounding up a bit we arrive at: [image] so we draw: [image] …
