Oops, you're right. Sorry Carroll.

Jerry, I didn't directly answer your question, did I? If you use Bill Youngs plugin, and use vacuum pucks and a laser, it would take just a few minutes to fixture and cut each arch from the glued-up...

Carroll,
Have you tried this resource?

Jerry,
My former employer used to use the same method as you. Then in 2002 he bought a PRT96 and we began experimenting with it to make the circle top moldings. However, we just used the bot to...

Jerry, I must be missing something. Sign Source seems to be a sign manufacturer located in southern California. I can't find any search function. Are you sure you have the right url?

I'm confused (or my browser is); what does this thread have to do with

Yes Mike, Knots3D is the program you posted the link for.

Thanks Jon, you have mail.

I have been playing with the knots3d program the last week. I also downloaded the knots font and created this simple border design that I want to carve into a small end table. I would be happy to...

Dennis,

In the SB software, go to File, Conversions, then select SBP from the file type menu. Select the SBP file you want to convert, then in the popup menu, select File, select save file as...

This can easily be done as Paco said; create sbp files for the toolpaths, then use FC in ShopBot to create a dxf file. Import into AutoCad. I just did this and it worked great. Only thing I had to...

Brian/Tony- You have mail.

Just tried V Carve Wizard (demo) for the first time. My first impressions:
Would not import an AI file (the same AI file that PW1 imports fine). AI was created in Rhino 2.
Very "clunky"...

Brian,

Yes, I could do it in Rhino, but the need now is for speed; i.e. I need some samples cut by this time next week, and my time until then is spoken for.

And the geometry is just part...

In the course of attending the recent Midwest Camp ShopBot, I have been inspired to branch out and be fruitful in other areas with my 'bot. OK, enough of the bad puns...

I have made contact...

Paul,

Any of the TurboCad versions will create dxf files. I started with v4 and I now create files all the time with v7. However, you still need a program to create the toolpaths and produce...

It will get you up and running inexpensively, and with good results. I started using this system when I was teaching back in the 80's.

Frank at ShopBot gave me the answer. Here it is:

through was caught in 1.02. It only works in 1.01."

Brady,

It is possible in PW1, but not PW2. Seems Delcam discovered their error and removed it in v2. That's the story I heard from SB. If only I could find the notes from the SB training...

I have forgotten the undocumented trick for viewing your cuts in shaded 3D in PW 1.01. Can anybody remind me?
