Bookpile Box Project

Post by dhruska »

I am trying to make the Bookpile Box project from the December newsletter. I downloaded the project files and looked them over. It appears I am missing the tool path files for the second side of the two-sided carve. When I open the VERT_Two-Side_LID_and_SPINES.crv file, only the tool paths for the first side are listed. How do I get the files for the second side to cut out the bottoms?

You have to toggle to the other side. There are two toolpaths for the top side and four for the bottom side.

Adrian,

Thank you for the reply. How do I toggle to the other side? I have no experience with two-sided programs.

Dave,
Thanks for asking the question, I was also confused about the 2 sided file.
