Many thanks to Justin for sharing the vector file with me (and others). This forum is so generous - with time and advice! Thanks to everyone for your help in the short time I have been here. I hope to repay the favors in the future!!

I,ve been goofing around with toolpathing the calender , I'm missing how to get where other finished examples got.
Hints please

I just did a V carve toolpath with ArtCAM and it was ready to go.

I did the same thing in Aspire. Worked great!

MDF is fun to work with

I was playing with this again tonight.
If I do a vcarve in aspire I end up with the inverse of the photo (sunken Vs and border dots)
I did get the relief I wanted in 3d in aspire....then tried it again and got a error.
I played with profile and pocket too...but that went nowhere.
Did you dig down in the design and set the cutter or was it select all and generate the path.

the inverse looks cool too...I just want to learn why I'm not getting there on the vcarve
