Adding Custom Preview Materials

Post by Tony Mac »

Although the standard list of job preview materials provides a reasonable selection of woods, stones and metals to choose from, you may have a project that requires a special material type. For example, a customer may require their work to be carved into a special wood that isn’t in the default list of materials.

The Job Preview material list can very easily be edited to include your own material types and selection names, allowing your work to be previewed and saved in the same materials that you are actually planning route or engrave.

Instructions explaining how to add your own materials can be downloaded from,

Tony, I have been trying to load my own colors in the material selection but have been unsuccessful. When I clicked on the link in your previous post it says "file not found" Can you help me?
Thank you,
Bryson
