Rhino 8 file import to CC as dxf, properties of Rhino are gone

[dbhoward (David Howard)]

I created the Ukulele bridge in designer software added the 3D effects in Rhino 8, export out as dxf file open in CC and none the properties created in Rhino come with the file, it comes in as many layers and many nodes a real mess. How do you get the actual 3D element created in Rhino to come with the file in to CC.

Export as an STL and import into Carbide Create Pro:

Making a guitar bridge for Carbide Create Pro

as requested on support… Given a file in Carbide Create which describes a guitar bridge: [image] there are a couple of different ways which this part could be made: draw up contour geometry and assign toolpaths to appropriate depths (note that this does not require Carbide Create Pro): Spoon Possible without CC Pro? model the design in a traditional CAD tool, export it as an STL and then import that STL into Carbide Create Pro and then cut that 3D model using Carbide Create Pro: Instru…

So I created a bounding box and imported the STL file, it loads with no outlines at all, the shading tells me the 3D info is there and in 3D view it is correct, but when I want to set up a toolpath or work in model mode no vectors can be selected. Im doing something wrong coming out of Rhino or not setting up CCpro correct before importing?

You have to draw in or trace vectors which are then used to delimit where the toolpath is cutting.
