Re: 3d moels
You would need to it export it from 123d in a format that is loadable by Cut3D such as STL. You would then toolpath it in Cut3D and create the SBP cut file for your shopbot in the last stage in Cut3D.
Re: 3d moels
sorry I did not explain it well, I know how to import and save to my possessor ,trouble is to write the gcode to cut a solid 3d model on my rotary spindle! I don't want to cut it in layers or rape it,it is a 3 dimensional model. I know there must be a way other people are doing this I just don't know if cut3d or aspir can write the gcode for cutting a solid model on a rotary spindle,thanks

To do this in Aspire you would import and unwrap your 3D model so that Aspire can wrap it around the rotary axis. The Aspire tutorial F14 - Unwrap & Toolpath a 3D Model - Rotary Axis covers this. The tutorial is on the Aspire disk.
