Divide a design

Post by jamesrugby »

I'm running Vcarve pro 6 and I have Artcam express for my 3d work, I find that Artcam suits my needs for 3d signs but I can no longer by add-ons as artcam has been bought by AutoCAD

is their any way to divide a design like in this video time stamp 8.33

I know the current version of Vcarve has a function called "tiled toolpath", but I don't recall what version that was rolled out in. That function has what you need.

Tim you are a gem
I was thinking if I couldn't do it in Vcarve I would have to divide it in Photoshop via slices
Thank you
