.stl Files

Post by dickdelmi »

I am trying to download an .stl file :roll: to VCarve pro 9 without success. This is a file I bought on ETSY and I think that all of their offshore files are in this format. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

They have to be imported. Look under file and click import. Find the correct file and click on it.

you have to have a new file open first then file>import>3d file...make the file larger dimensions than you think then resize after you get the file in...

next comes playing with resizing and that's where it starts to get fun...where/how to place it in the Z axis took me a few tries...
