Hello All,
I was looking for some insight on how to use the Next Wave Automation Raster 3.0. I open the program and load the image. How do I save it and then upload it to vcarve pro so i can use a laser to try and laser the image.
I tried saving it and then opening it as a bitmap but it does not show up in the saved area. What I need to do is be able to save it as a laser file.
Thanks
Rastering

Re: Rastering
Opening or importing ? If you are working within Vcarve then you would be best using the import bitmap function

Re: Rastering
That program creates code that is meant to be loaded and cut directly on your machine not loaded into VCarve as far as I can see.
If it does have an option to save the file as a bitmap rather than just a TAP file then you would need to import the bitmap as Martin says.

Re: Rastering
Thanks for the response. It only saves it as a Tap file. I will try what you guys say and load it right to the machine. Thanks again
