Reverse Engineering a SB3 File

[Bob Eustace]

Does anyone know if there is a way, if you only have the SB3 file, to get it back into Aspire?

Many thanks - Bob

Bob,

If you use the file conversion (FC) utility in SB3, you can convert the .spb to a .dxf and then open in Aspire. What you see will be offset by the radius of the cutter that was originally used for the file though and it will likely need a fair amount of clean up, but at least you'll have a start at recreating the file. How much work is needed to clean up and recreate it will depend on the complexity of the cutting file.

Thank you Scott.
