adding model

Post by clasicoak52 »

I bought an stl off the internet when i import it into a job it won't allow me to bring another model into the job it tells me that I can't do that because it's not a vectric model I would like to set it up as one job rather than 2 separate jobs. and if I want to combine 2 or more models how can I do that - Jeff

That's the restriction of VCarve over Aspire. It can only work with one 3rd party model at a time. You can make multiple copies of the same one once it's imported but not a different STL.

You have posted this in the Cut3D section.
Do you refer to Cut3D or VCarve Pro?
Cut3D can also only handle one .stl at a time.

It's best to ask questions in the correct sub-forum for the software you're using. There aren't that many active Cut3D users so your questions might get missed or misinterpreted if you put them in the sub-forum for that software.
