Re: 3DS file unwrapping

first picture is from accutrans, explaining how you can convert to 3ds an stl file i did not say, but you can convert 3ds file to stl too... just make sure i dont forget.... you can make your own test, if you have guessing fileformat is the cause... another two picture made from aspire... what do yo...

Re: tool path for horizontal tool

zac if your hole is placed on a board edge... then possible you have to draw with vectors the toolpath.. drilling toolpath works only from Z direction... moving your "horizontal drill" on X-Y plane you need to draw a continous vector, starting from outside of the material, and goes on x or y directi...

Re: Slicing a model on X axis

ray if you thinking on the decartes cordinata system, you can see you can rotate your model... rotating on x axis, you get different direction, and Y will be the Z... so after this you can slice with cut 3d if it is dont help, then you can try netfab... a free program, and you can slice stl files in...
