Trying to open a .crv3d file from Vectric

Post by wolfeman »

Could someone PLEASE help me. Vectric put out a bears head that is a .crv3d file but I have been unable to open the file. After many hours of looking I still can not find out how to open the file. Can someone please help me out. Thank you for any help.

But will it open in the trial version of Aspire?

I've not tried the trial version of Aspire yet, so am unaware of the limitations.

I would assume that you can open the file to view, but are not allowed to machine.

Correct. Except if it is one of the demo files which allow machining.
