Why would the starting points be so different in going from drawing to toolpath? Example: Inside cutout drawing shows X7.2829Y0.9359 toolpath: X57.715Y23.885 outside cut: drawing shows X0.5012Y0.3182 toolpath X12.699 Y8.010 All drawing dimension are in inches. Mach 2/3 arcs inches is how the post pr...

How do you access the machineable projects in the latest trial version of Aspire?

Thanks for the comments and feedback. After thinking about it, I am thinking that the easiest approach may be cutting it as an indexing job on a 4th axis. A 5 axis machine would probably cut it, but that is probably a bigger investment than this individual would want to make. If this project gets en...

It looks to me as though if the pipe were turning slowly on a 4th axis(cnc lathe) that a 2-sided approach would not be necessary. And that as long as the stem was not a curvy "S" shape or similar that it could be done. What am I missing?

Has anyone considered the possibility of cutting a smoking pipe on a 4th axis? Is it possible? Could it be cut from a solid blank?

Yes, the file was saved to the hard drive. I did contact support and they said there is no fix for error code 1. Also said I may have computer problem. I did try to reopen the file a couple of hours later and it opened right up, naturally right after I completely redid the drawing and file work. Not...

Same thing happened to me today, but I don't have v9--I have v3.5.

The attached file will be a wedding gift on a cutting board--designed in Aspire 3.5. "ROEBUCK" is intended to appear as a phantom in a dish recess. Everything else will be v-carved. Would appreciate any suggestions for improvement in design etc. The phantom may need to be taller

Where is the original drawing located, OR how can I get a dxf etc of the rocker?

Adrian is correct. There was 3 nodes on top of each other and until 2 of them are deleted, you will have that problem, according to Vectric support. It probably doesn't happen that often, but it makes one wish there was a "multiple node detector" of some kind, that would delete the excess nodes and ...

Vectric has been sent a copy of the file. I will post their reply.

Thanks for all the help, guys.

The 2 images of the green layer were drawn in Aspire--no clip art or bit map images are involved.

All I am trying to do is make a simple cutout tool path for these parts, but the tool path gives me an inside cut plus an outside cutting tool path.

There is a tool path that cuts on the inside as well as the outside of each image.

Why is Aspire 3.5 giving me 2 tool paths for each image?
