Previewing Toolpaths

Post by MikeUSNRet »

In Aspire, When in Previewing Toolpaths, Is there any place where a background picture can be added behind model being looked at that is part of the save preview image? It would be great to say have a business logo in there when saving and sending a rendering to someone.

Yes there is.

Go to the Edit menu and choose Options. Under 3D view Settings change "Shaded Background Style" to "Image" and then set the "Image File Path" to the image you want for the background.

Now that's something I was not aware of. I just learned something new about Aspire. Thanks Adrian.
