Can I import .igs/stl/dfx/dwg/3d model
My 3d model import is greyed out. I also need a good process for a guitar neck. Thank you all.

- A good process for a guitar neck is the two-rail sweep tool

Thank you, I figured that out, now trying to get vectors off my stl, it won't select anything. Thank you.

You can auto-trace the STL model, then use the reduce nodes tool and manually edit remaining nodes...or just trace your STL manually with the vector drawing tools.

Thank you, Michael. I program and run large Mazak 5-axis at The Boeing Company with Mastercam and Catia, a friend has a Probotix Meteor Fireball router and wanted to make a Guitar, so far I'm failing, emc2 won't read Mastercam code or life would be good.
