3d in VCarve Pro

[sylvan356]

I am helping a new user with VCarve Pro. It was my understanding that VCarve would let you use 1 3D object in the file. I cannot seem to do that. Am I wrong or how do I accomplish that for my friend?

You can use unlimited Vectric format (V3M) models or one of a third party format such as STL. Once the third party model has been imported it can then be copied multiple times within the job.

How old is his VCarve? It might be a pre 3D version.

10.5. He just bought it.

[Adrian]

Should be fine then. Is there any error message being displayed?

With the STL file - you cannot just drop it in or just open it.

You must IMPORT the file.

Thanks Adrian and Leo. We got it working and now he (and I) know the procedure!
