Missing photovcarve icon

Post by 1rapph »

I have Aspire 9.5 and there doesn't seem to be a photovcarve toolpath strategy available in the toolpathing section. Is there something I need to do in order to gain this functionality?

I don't think it was available until v10.

Yes, that's correct. The photovcarve toolpath came out with v10 so wasn't available in 9.5

Prior to V10 you would need the PhotoVCarve program to toolpath a photovcarve file and then import it into Aspire/VCarve if you want to include it with other elements.
